The document summarizes California's Local Energy Assurance Plans (CaLEAP) program. The program aims to help local governments develop energy assurance plans to ensure energy for critical services during emergencies. It provides an overview of the CaLEAP methodology, which incorporates energy into existing planning efforts. It also describes the development of a web-based tool and technical support to help stakeholders complete energy assurance plans. The document outlines key partners, objectives, and next steps for the program.
2. Energy Assurance
