In order to ensure chemical safety in the workplace, information about the identities and hazards of the chemicals must be available and understandable to workers. OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires the development and dissemination of such information:
Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and prepare labels and safety data sheets to convey the hazard information to their downstream customers;
Labels: Chemical manufacturers and importers will be required to provide a label that includes a harmonized signal word, pictogram, and hazard statement for each hazard class and category. Precautionary statements must also be provided.
Hazard mitigation planning reduces loss of life and property by minimizing the impact of disasters. It begins with state, tribal and local governments identifying natural disaster risks and vulnerabilities that are common in their area. After identifying these risks, they develop long-term strategies for protecting people and property from similar events. Mitigation plans are key to breaking the cycle of disaster damage and reconstruction.
APA, in collaboration with FEMA, has developed a free two-part course that teaches planners how to facilitate a hazard mitigation planning process, how to collaborate with their colleagues, how to assess community-wide risk, and ultimately, how to advocate for a stronger and more resilient future.
Find all of the Mitigation Planning webinars in one convenient playlist. New webinars are added to the playlist as they become available. The playlist includes the From Policy to Action series which has webinars on equitable mitigation, planning for climate resilient communities, and partnerships in planning for coastal resilience. The playlist also has informative videos on the planning process, tribal mitigation planning, scoping mitigation plans and ways to increase resilience.
The State Fire Marshal is mandated to classify lands within State Responsibility Areas into Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ). Fire Hazard Severity Zones fall into one of the following classifications:
The California laws that require Fire Hazard Severity Zones include California Public Resources Code 4201-4204, California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 1280 and California Government Code 51175-89.
The Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps are developed using a science-based and field-tested model that assigns a hazard score based on the factors that influence fire likelihood and fire behavior. Many factors are considered such as fire history, existing and potential fuel (natural vegetation), predicted flame length, blowing embers, terrain, and typical fire weather for the area. There are three levels of hazard in the State Responsibility Areas: moderate, high, and very high.

It is your responsibility to prepare yourself, your family, and your home for when wildfire strikes. Creating and maintaining defensible space and hardening your home by retrofitting it with ignition-resistant or noncombustible materials to protect against the threat of flying embers, direct flame contact, and radiant heat exposure will dramatically increase your safety and the survivability of your home.

Electric arcs are essentially ionized gases caused when electricity travels through air. An electric arc flash, also called an electric arc, arc blast, or arc flash, is a complex event. An arc flash can produce temperatures as high as 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
The FEMA Flood Map Service Center (MSC) is the officialpublic source for flood hazard information produced in support ofthe National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Use the MSC to findyour official flood map, access a range of other flood hazardproducts, and take advantage of tools for better understandingflood risk.
FEMA flood maps are continually updated through a variety ofprocesses. Effective information that you download or print fromthis site may change or become superseded by new maps over time.For additional information, please see the FloodHazard Mapping Updates Overview Fact Sheet
The Search All Products page has been recently updated to allow users to download a listing of all products resulting from a search. Users can print the file or import it into a spreadsheet or database.
HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product.
The HMGP funding opportunities provide support for communities to implement mitigation activities to reduce risk to life and property from natural hazards. In California, natural hazards include wildfire, earthquake, drought, extreme weather, flooding, and other natural hazards as defined in the State Hazard Mitigation Plan. HMGP funding can also support the development of Local Hazard Mitigation Plans (LHMP), and project scoping activities referred to as Advanced Assistance.
Subapplicants interested in HMGP must submit a Notice of Interest (NOI) via the Cal OES Engage portal prior to submitting a subapplication. All NOIs must be submitted by the posted deadline. NOIs submitted after this date will be considered for the next available funding opportunity.
Our subject matter experts are available to discuss project eligibility, benefit cost analysis, technical feasibility, EHP requirements, the application process, or other related matters. Please reach out to H...@caloes.ca.gov with questions or to schedule a call.
The Hazard Mitigation Planning Division oversees hazard mitigation planning throughout the State of California. This Division is comprised of the State Mitigation Planning Unit and Local Mitigation Planning Unit. Our staff maintains, updates, tracks, and collaborates on outreach and technical assistance across state and local planning programs.
The 2023 SHMP was developed in close collaboration with various federal, state, Tribal Nation, local, and non-governmental partners, as well as with members of the public. The 2023 SHMP expands on previous SHMP discussions of hazard impacts on equity priority communities and of climate change as an exacerbator to hazard events. The 2023 SHMP also organizes hazards according to an impact rating, rather than by hazard type as seen in previous plans.
The Cal OES Local Mitigation Planning Unit oversees the technical assistance, training, outreach to support the development, update, and implementation of Local Hazard Mitigation Plans (LHMPs) in California. The Local Mitigation Planning Unit also reviews LHMPs, and forwards plans that meet federal regulations and guidance to FEMA for approval. Cal OES monitors and tracks where LHMPs are in development and implementation, to ensure that entities are eligible to apply for grants in the Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant programs, a key feature of participating in and adopting a LHMP.
Once you complete your LHMP and submit it to our team, Cal OES reviews all LHMPs in accordance with FEMA regulations and coordinates required revisions to ensure compliance with FEMA policy. Once Cal OES planning staff find the LHMP meets requirements, the LHMP is forwarded to FEMA Region IX mitigation planning staff for final review and approval. Communities can adopt their plan once they receive approval from FEMA Region IX and Cal OES. LHMPs expire every 5 years and ensure eligibility for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant programs, including the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, and Flood Mitigation Assistance Program.
