<br />To review and provide comments on the 2007 Draft SHMP, visit <br />WW'N.hazardmitiaation.oes.ca.Qov, and see the SHMP listing under 'programs." <br /> <br />Background on SHMP <br /> <br />The SHMP is the official statement of California's statewide hazard mitigation goals, strategies, <br />and priorities. By law, state hazard mitigation plans must be updated every three years in order <br />for states and their local jurisdictions to be eligible for federal hazard mitigation and certain public <br />assistance funding. <br /> <br />Hazard mitigation addresses the reshaping and strengthening of the built environment to <br />significantly reduce disaster losses created by natural and human-caused hazards and risks. The <br />goals of this plan are to significantly reduce life loss and injuries and minimize damage to <br />structures and property from disasters, protect the environment, and promote hazard mitigation <br />as an integrated public policy, creating safer communities and state. <br /> <br />Find a Bill, Legislators, Leg Committee, or Ask League Leg Staff <br /> <br />Visit (and bookmarkl) the League's Leaislative Resources Web page <br />(www.cacities.orallearesources).
