California American Water and the American Water Charitable Foundation awarded a $25,000 grant to the San Marino Fire Department for Southern California’s first all-electric emergency response vehicle, enabling multi-agency coordination across 23 municipalities. This EV mobile command center, supported by the LAFD Foundation, aligns with California’s 2035 zero-emission mandate and enhances climate-resilient disaster preparedness. The initiative reinforces partnerships between water utilities and emergency services, with the Foundation’s “Keep Communities Flowing” program investing over $20 million since 2012 in water security and infrastructure resilience nationwide.
