Cal. Code Regs. tit. 5 § 42931
A catastrophic illness or injury is one which has totally incapacitated the employee from work. Catastrophic illness or injury may also include an incapacitated member of the employee's family, if this results in the employee's being required to take time off for an extended period of time in order to care for the family member and the employee has exhausted all of accrued vacation credits and all accrued sick leave credits which may be used for family care. Only donated vacation credits may be used for such family care catastrophic leave.
Catastrophic leave for a natural disaster/state of emergency is leave for an employee whose principal residence is located in a county where a state of emergency has been declared by the Governor, is unable to work due to the effect of the natural disaster/state of emergency on the recipient employee's principal residence, and who faces financial hardship because the employee has exhausted all accrued personal holiday credits and compensating time off, and has a balance of forty (40) hours or less in each accrued vacation credits and sick leave credits.
