Bill overview
This bill updates California law to clarify the process for cities and counties to create local hazard mitigation plans as part of their comprehensive safety elements. These plans, required by federal law, help communities prepare for and reduce the risks from natural disasters like earthquakes and floods. The bill ensures these plans meet federal requirements and prioritizes assistance for jurisdictions that haven’t yet developed one. It focuses on improving the planning process to better protect communities.
