California Environmental Reporting System (CERS)
Although the State of California has set a 2013 deadline for electronic reporting, we are starting this program immediately so we can more effectively assist businesses with making the change. It will reduce paperwork, automatically notify the CUPA of updates, and eventually allow emergency responders to electronically access hazardous materials inventories and after-hours contact information.The database formerly used was Unidocs. While the Unidocs website will continue to operate, the online reporting section has been discontinued and has transitioned to CERS. Do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions at 707-565-1152 and ask to speak with a Hazardous Materials Inspector.
