Local Jurisdictions Adaptation and Resiliency Planning: SB 379

Local Jurisdictions Adaptation and Resiliency Efforts: SB 379

Thank you for filling out the Governor's Office of Planning and Research's survey about adaptation and resiliency efforts in your local area. The results of this survey will help our office understand how local jurisdictions are meeting SB 379, which requires every local government in California to incorporate climate into the Safety Element of their General Plan, or by reference in other plans.

Please note that responses to these questions will be aggregated into a final report, which will include the names of all of the participating jurisdictions. However, individual responses will remain anonymous.

Consultants, please feel free to complete these responses with as much or as little detail as you feel appropriate on behalf of clients.

If you have any other thoughts, questions, or recommendations for other jurisdictions we should contact, please email me at annie.carroll@opr.ca.gov. Thank you!
