🌊 COASTAL FLOODING ALERT: Very high tides are expected along California’s coast this week, with record-high tides possible in parts of Southern California. Coastal Flood Warnings and Advisories extend from Sonoma County to Southern California, with flooding and beach erosion possible.
⚠️ Stay alert, protect flood-prone property, allow extra travel time and never drive around barricades or through floodwater.
Check the latest forecasts and warnings at weather.gov.
Thanks to @CAgovernor’s action, we’re moving faster than ever to prepare for El Niño.
This includes working around the clock with local, state and federal partners to protect our communities – from reinforcing key portions of our Pacific Coast Highway to speeding approvals for flood and storm safety projects.
I just issued two executive orders to bolster protections along our coasts — and around Highway 1 — ahead of potentially dangerous El Niño storms.
We're proactively putting state agencies to work to guard against possible storm damage and road closures.

The best time to fight a wildfire is before it starts.
Prescribed burning, or beneficial fire, is an important part of wildfire prevention. By intentionally reintroducing fire under carefully managed conditions, we help reduce the buildup of dry grass, brush, and other vegetation that can fuel larger, more destructive wildfires.
Reducing excess vegetation helps create healthier, more resilient landscapes, supports natural ecosystem processes, and can help slow the spread of future wildfires.
As cooler weather returns and conditions allow, prescribed burns will take place across California to reduce hazardous fuels and support long-term wildfire resilience.
📍Recently, @CALFIRE_ButteCo, in partnership with @CAStateParks and the @CA_DWR, conducted a prescribed burn at Loafer Creek State Recreation Area in east Oroville, treating 86 acres to reduce hazardous fuels and help protect the surrounding community.

What does it take to fight climate change while growing one of the world's largest economies? 🌎
California is showing what's possible.
🎙️ In Episode 2 of From the Source, California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot sits down with @AirResources Board Chair Lauren Sanchez for a candid conversation about California's climate leadership, the progress we've made cleaning our air and what's next.
No spin. No talking points. Just real conversations with the people leading California forward.

We’re wearing pink to raise cancer awareness this October.
Through our Cares Enough to Wear Pink campaign, pink uniform patches and shirts are worn to support and raise money for those impacted by cancer. We aim to draw attention to the role research, early detection, and regular screenings play in the fight against the disease. 🩷

Know your risk. As El Niño heads our way, remember to check your address, flood zone and nearby waterways.

We hear “El Niño” more and more frequently as we head into wet weather across California, but what does El Niño mean? This natural phenomenon happens when the ocean near the equator gets warmer than normal which can lead to stronger, more frequent, and destructive storms. And this year’s El Niño is trending as one of the strongest on record! Prepare you and your family for whatever El Niño may bring by visiting water.ca.gov/befloodready
ALT What is El Niño? El Niño is a natural phenomenon that increases the chance of storm activity in California and leads to other potentially harmful impacts.

🌊 A Coastal Flood Warning is in effect for coastal areas of San Diego and Orange counties through October 29. Dangerous King Tides, combined with the potential impacts of El Niño, could increase coastal flooding, erosion, and inundation risks for low-lying roads and property.
⚠️ If you will be in affected areas:
- Stay out of the water and away from hazardous surf.
- Never drive around barricades or through flooded roads.
- Avoid flooded areas and never enter water of unknown depth.
- Stay alert, monitor local advisories and take precautions to protect yourself and your property.

🌎 That's a wrap from the UN Biodiversity Conference in Armenia!
After a week of conversations with global leaders, one thing is clear: The path forward for protecting nature may be uncertain, but California isn't slowing down.
From protecting 30% of our lands and coastal waters by 2030 to advancing Tribal stewardship, California continues to show the world what's possible when we turn commitments into action.
🎥 Secretary @WadeCrowfoot reflects on the week, the challenges ahead and why California's leadership matters now more than ever.

“The aim of their rigged review is obvious — to strong-arm California on behalf of oil companies and clear the path for massive new oil drilling off our coast,” CA Secretary for Natural Resources @WadeCrowfoot said.
“While federal agencies ignore thousands who made their voices heard against this ludicrous attack,” he said, “we’re standing with Californians to defend our coastal communities.”
The Trump administration said it will strip California of its authority to protect its coastline "unless and until the identified deficiencies are satisfactorily addressed."
Federal officials have already suspended future coastal management funds, according to a 92-page draft review obtained by The Times.

Climate-driven extremes, like the El Niño storms, drought, and intense wildfires are the new normal. Are you prepared if disaster strikes?
Your family may not all be together during an emergency, so think about how you will communicate and where you will meet. Be flood prepared and established a family communication plan for emergencies. You can find more resources on how to plan for a flood at bit.ly/floodprepca

🌎 On Day 1 of the UN Biodiversity Conference in Armenia, California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot shares why bringing global leaders together matters. From protecting biodiversity to confronting climate change, the challenges we face extend far beyond our borders, and so must our solutions.
California is proud to be part of the conversation. 🌿
The numbers are in!
With the world’s largest wildlife crossing set to open across the 101 this December, this good news from Colorado shows exactly why we’re pursuing more of these across California (multiple already open and 37 are currently in progress!).
The weather may be changing but the threat of wildfire remains.👇
Don’t let cooler weather fool you. 🍂
Fall has historically brought some of California’s largest and most destructive wildfires. Dry vegetation, wind, and low humidity can still create dangerous conditions.
Give your home a safety check:
🌿 Move combustible materials at least five feet from your home.
🏠 Clear leaves and debris from roofs and rain gutters.
🔥 Check that vents are ember-resistant; this means 1/16-inch to 1/8-inch corrosion-resistant, non-combustible metal mesh designed to block wind-driven fire embers and flames from entering a structure’s attic, crawl space, or eaves during a wildfire.
Cooler weather doesn’t mean the wildfire threat is over. Stay vigilant, and don’t let your guard down.
Our agencies are stepping up to help communities prepare for El Niño.
➡️ @CA_DWR has 4.4 MILLION sandbags ready and is inspecting all 1,600 miles of levees throughout the state
➡️ @TheCACoast is approving emergency permits for coastal property owners
➡️ @CAStateParks continues to expedite work at state beaches to recover from recent coastal erosion and prepare for incoming storms
We're positioning millions of sandbags, inspecting levees, and making sure our communities have the support they need.
I'm encouraging Californians across the state to get ready, too ⬇️ gov.ca.gov/2026/10/21/govern…

What would life without energy efficiency be like? Wasted energy. Higher bills. That doesn’t sound good.
When the CEC was created 50 yrs ago, one of our roles was to implement efficiency standards that helped us use our fav appliances but with less stress on the grid.
