Emergency Survival Program
The Emergency Survival Program (ESP), formerly known as the Earthquake Survival Program,
is an awareness campaign designed to increase emergency preparedness at home, in the
community, at work and at school. ESP was developed by the County of Los Angeles.
The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (OES) and representatives
from Contra Costa, Imperial, Inyo, Kern, Los Angeles, Marin, Mono, Orange, Riverside,
San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz and Ventura
counties, various cities, Southern California Edison, the Southern California Earthquake
Center, and the American Red Cross assist in the development of campaign materials and in coordination of the campaign.
Each year a list of monthly preparedness steps is recommended as an easy way for you to prepare for all hazards. You are encouraged to download the ESP materials. By taking simple actions each month you can help prepare your neighborhood, family and community to be self-sufficient. You are encouraged to download the ESP materials on this site. For additional information about the Emergency Survival Program, please e-mail ATafoya@ceooem.lacounty.gov.
If you're using ESP, please complete the ESP survey,
so the authors can see how widely the materials have spread and what your needs
are.
