Reports must be submitted within 90 days, as required by Title 19 CCR § 2450.  \nIt provides instructions for addressing six legal and four lesson-learned questions needed for the state-level AAR. Each section includes a prompt and sample Essential Elements of Information (EEIs) to help guide your response. These are not comprehensive lists. Adapt the examples based on your agency’s role and experience.  \nThe state-level AAR is a public document subject to the Public Records Act; therefore, sensitive or personally identifying information should not be included in AAR submissions to Cal OES.
