Santa Monica市讯——位于加州洛杉矶县的Santa Monica市，Santa Monica市消防局10月14日宣布加入AwareCA平台。据Santa Monica市政府官网发布的新闻稿，该局当天宣布参与AwareCA——加州全州公共安全信息平台，居民与访客可通过这一平台直接获取消防部门及其他公共安全机构发布的权威信息。此举是洛杉矶地区消防机构在洛杉矶地区消防局长协会（LAAFCA）协调下共同推进的行动。
AwareCA是一款免费手机应用，在全州统一平台上提供事故信息、野火动态、疏散信息、机构更新及其他公共安全资讯。对Santa Monica居民而言，这意味着除原有渠道外，又多了一条直接接收本市消防局以及全区、全州参与机构信息的途径。

Santa Monica Fire Department Joins Statewide AwareCA Public Safety Platform
SANTA MONICA — Santa Monica is a city in Los Angeles County, California. The Santa Monica Fire Department announced on October 14 that it has joined AwareCA, California's statewide public safety information platform. According to a city press release, the platform gives residents and visitors direct access to authoritative information from fire departments and other public safety agencies, and Santa Monica is participating alongside fire agencies across the Los Angeles region in a coordinated effort supported by the Los Angeles Area Fire Chiefs Association (LAAFCA).
AwareCA is a free mobile application that provides incident information, wildfire activity, evacuation information, agency updates and other public safety information on a common statewide platform. For Santa Monica residents, it adds a direct connection to information from their own fire department as well as participating agencies across the region and state.
Fire Chief Matt Hallock said in the release that the community trusts the department to provide accurate information when it matters most, and that joining AwareCA gives residents another direct way to receive information from the department while connecting them with agencies across the region, noting that emergencies do not stop at city boundaries.
The city said LAAFCA brings together fire service leadership from 29 departments across the Los Angeles region, helping agencies collaborate on operational, technological and public safety challenges that cross jurisdictional boundaries, within California's mutual aid system in which dozens of cities and fire agencies work together daily.
