Reduce the Risk | September Newsletter

This summer, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) launched Reduce the Risk, a statewide campaign to teach communities about California’s nine protection orders. Protection orders are lifesaving tools that give loved ones and friends a way to act to prevent violence when there are warning signs. Protection orders provide safeguards including temporarily removing guns from people in crisis, helping to prevent suicides, mass shootings and other forms of gun violence.
