El Niño is here, let’s break down what it is and what it could mean for California.

El Niño happens when parts of the Pacific Ocean become warmer than usual. This warming can influence weather patterns across the Pacific, increasing the chance for stronger storms, coastal flooding and other weather impacts in California.

El Niño can look different depending on where you live, so it’s important we take steps to prepare. Cal OES encourages all Californians to get ready now by staying informed and signing up for local emergency alerts at https://t.co/GdwO9jW64Q, listening to local authorities and making an emergency plan with your family.

[California Department of Aging @CalAging]

Rides, meals, medications—caregiving can start with everyday help and grow over time. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you regularly help someone who needs care, you may be a caregiver—even if you’ve never called yourself one.

You arrange the ride, go to the appointment, and remember the questions to ask. That’s caregiving.
