Overview

California is a state located on the West Coast of the United States, known for its diverse geography, culture, and economy. It is the most populous state in the U.S. and the third-largest by area, covering roughly 164,000 square miles. California is bordered by Oregon to the north, Nevada to the east, Arizona to the southeast, and the Pacific Ocean to the west.

California is prone to natural disasters, particularly wildfires, earthquakes, and droughts. The state’s active seismic zone, which includes the San Andreas Fault, makes it vulnerable to earthquakes. California is also frequently impacted by wildfires, which have become more intense and frequent due to climate change. The state has invested heavily in disaster preparedness and response infrastructure.
