Summary

As part of the update, existing law requires the agency to coordinate with other state agencies to identify a lead agency or group of agencies to lead adaptation efforts in each sector. Existing law requires state agencies to work to maximize specified objectives. Existing law requires the Office of Emergency Services, within one year of an update to the Safeguarding California Plan and in coordination with certain state agencies, to review and update, as necessary, the Adaptation Planning Guide. This bill would include, as objectives to be maximized, building resilient communities by developing projects that incorporate, to the maximum extent feasible, cool surface materials and investing in communities to develop community-specific climate resilience plans and to establish community resilience centers to mitigate impacts of local climate risks. The bill would additionally require the Office of Emergency Services to coordinate with the State Department of Public Health in the review and update of the Adaption Planning Guide. This bill would establish the Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program to coordinate the state's efforts to address extreme heat and to facilitate the implementation of regional and state climate change planning into effective projects through the awarding of competitive grants to eligible entities for implementation of those projects. The bill would require the Strategic Growth Council to administer the program. The bill would establish the Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Fund in the State Treasury and would require the council, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to expend moneys in the fund for the implementation of the program.
