Cal OES is the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) that is tasked with responding to disasters. Cal OES is responsible for the Consolidated Debris Removal Program. Residents of El Dorado County are encouraged to work with Cal OES to get debris removed, and to access any assistance that is available.

To receive assistance from California’s Consolidated Debris Removal Program, residents must complete a Right of Entry (ROE) form. Granting Right of Entry to State and County government inspectors will provide access to clean up hazardous materials on the property. The government intends to inspect, cut, test, remove, clear and monitor wildfire-generated debris. Hazards can include burned or partially burned structures, ash, concrete foundations, contaminated soil, vehicles, trailers, waste or other debris and hazard trees. Furthermore, the ROE authorizes inspectors to identify hazards and debris that are eligible to be removed. El Dorado County encourages residents to complete and submit the Right of Entry (ROE) as soon as possible to maximize benefits. Get help filling out the form with one of the Community Hubs at the Library.

Individual Assistance (IA) is available from Cal OES. Individual Assistance coordinates with federal, state, local and nonprofit entities to provide recovery assistance. For more information, please contact the regional program manager listed below:
