June is National Safety Month: Stay Prepared with the California JPIA

Happy National Safety Month! The National Safety Committee established this observance in 1996 to encourage the prevention of avoidable risks and deaths in communities across the country. The Authority pursues this same mission in all aspects of public service, and there’s no better time than the present to take stock of potential risks and engage with resources offered by the California JPIA.
