In a recent webinar hosted by the Western Fire Chiefs Association, the discussion focused on a challenge facing agencies across the country: providing the public with trustworthy, real-time information during rapidly evolving incidents. The group also discussed how CAL FIRE and Intterra are working to address this challenge with AwareCA, California's new source for trusted emergency information.

Covering AwareCA's origin
Developed through a collaborative process between CAL FIRE and Intterra, AwareCA was designed to support millions of users while ensuring agencies retain ownership of their data and maintain a single source of truth for public information. The platform is part of the broader Aware ecosystem, which includes Aware Intel Hub for command and control and Aware Ops for secure first responder communications.
As misinformation and AI-generated content continue to spread quickly across digital channels, agencies need reliable tools that help communities access accurate information directly from the source. The webinar highlighted how public safety organizations can strengthen community engagement, improve situational awareness, and maintain confidence in official communications during emergencies.
AwareCA offers a new, modern, scalable approach that helps agencies stay connected to the people they serve when information matters most.
