Important Note:

Effective March 21, 2026, the California Resiliency Alliance (CRA) is on a three-month operational pause to conduct a strategic review and strengthen the organization’s long-term sustainability. New subscribers are welcome to join during the pause. Weekly briefs and other regular content are temporarily suspended during this period. We intend to resume operations after the pause with a clearer direction and a stronger foundation for the work ahead. For more on what this means and where the CRA is headed, read our full update and FAQs.

The professionals navigating California’s risk landscape rely on CRA. So can you.

California’s threats are complex, interconnected, and rapidly-evolving. CRA exists to bridge across the sectors and help the professionals responsible for navigating the risks gain a cross-sector perspective no single sector can provide on its own.

What You’ll Receive

CRA updates are designed not just to inform, but to improve how you think about risk — surfacing what’s relevant, contextualizing what it means, and helping you identify what your planning may not yet be accounting for.

Situation Briefs

Updates on unfolding events and emerging hazards such as wildfires, earthquakes, storms, and other critical threats — written with planning and operational awareness in mind.

Information Briefs

Insights into complex and evolving resilience issues to support strategic planning and decision-making.

Resource Collections

Curated reference collections of case studies, reports, assessments, maps, toolkits, and other materials to inform planning and preparedness around specific topics, threats, and hazards.

Mini Exercise Scenarios

Short, thought-provoking vignettes that surface blind spots, challenge assumptions, and prompt internal conversations that strengthen organizational readiness.

Tailored to your work

No two resilience professionals face exactly the same risk picture. CRA’s dynamic distribution list lets you shape your subscription around what’s most relevant — selecting the hazard types, infrastructure sectors, and geographic regions that align with your planning responsibilities.

A Network Built on Trust

More than 1,200 professionals across California’s public, private, and nonprofit sectors rely on CRA updates — from county emergency managers and public health officials to utility planners, business continuity professionals, and nonprofit directors.

Our network has grown sixfold since 2016. It grows because the information is useful and the source is trusted.

``The information and reports that you share are a valuable source of information. You are able to access information that would otherwise be unavailable or difficult to source, CRA is a strong resilience partner to many non-profits across the landscape.``

- Jennifer Leighty, Community Development Project Manager, RCAC

``While my main job focus is in Emerging Infectious Diseases preparedness, maintaining good situational awareness for continuity and EM helps me look long term. This goes for wildfire concerns in the county, the waste water data, oil reserves, and the earthquake reports. We would support our health system and department if thing got out of hand. So always good to know what is happening and what might boil over.``

- Healthcare Sector Business Continuity Specialist

``Good ``5,000' level`` on topics - super valuable for smaller jurisdictions.``

- Small-to-mid-sized City Emergency Manager

``All of the information CRA disseminates is valuable to help me ID potential risks and pre-plan for potential incidents. The data is also vital providing information during actual events. As a practitioner, it is often hard finding the time to manage a crisis and info gather at the same time. CRA provides valuable data to support these functions. CRA also provides a valuable service bridging the gap between public and private sectors.``

- Terri Chapman, CBCP Business Resilience Program Manager, Delta Dental of California
