Redner 3
Thank you very much, chair. California's wildfire destruction has reached a tipping point. Wildfires are now sweeping into urban areas in new and more intense and uncontrollable ways. Since 2018, California's lost three whole communities, Paradise, Palisades, and Altadena. We're facing a existential crisis.
In many of our communities, the greatest risk to your house burning down is your neighbor's house catching fire. The science is clear. Home hardening works, but it needs to be holistic and comprehensive. It must include home hardening and defensible space. AB nineteen thirty four would direct the wildfire mitigation advisory committee under the state fire marshal to establish a voluntary, and I emphasize voluntary, home hardening certification program that identifies hardening measures including defensible space that can be implemented during a renovation.
We need to provide the public with public pathways for hardening that we can easily build incentives around. I respectfully ask for your I vote and point out the California Professional Firefighters Association has submitted a letter to this committee about their support for this bill.

Redner 1
Awesome. Thank you very much, for the opportunity to present Assembly Bill twenty four seventy two, which is the emergency services catastrophic plans bill. California is one of the most disaster prone states in our nation, and given the vast array of natural disaster risk our communities face, prioritizing catastrophic planning is important, it's crucial, and it's necessary. This was explicitly stated in the California Catastrophic Incident Based Plan concept of operations or CONOP, which was jointly developed by Cal OES and FEMA in 2008. The conduct recommended multiple catastrophic plans, including the four plans already developed by Cal OES that this bill codifies.
It is also recommended that two that have not been implemented, the pandemic incident plan and the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive or CBRNE incident plans. This bill rectifies this gap in our catastrophic planning efforts by requiring Cal OES to develop these two plans as well as develop a wildfires in the wildland urban interface inter incident plan. As seen in the in the catastrophic Los Angeles wildfires, the state needs to prepare so that the level of loss and destruction does not happen again. Additionally, we we need to ensure that the lessons learned from COVID nineteen and CBRNE incidents are applied to our future emergency response efforts. This bill will ensure that the emergency management systems are most prepared to swiftly and effectively respond to and recover from catastrophes.
With that, I respectfully ask for your I vote.
Redner 3
We have a second. Are there any, other witnesses on, behalf of the bill chair Ransom?
Redner 3
Are there any is is there anybody here to speak in opposition to the bill as a primary witness? If not, are there is there anybody in the audience ready to speak in support of the bill? Anybody here to speak in opposition to the bill? We're ready to take questions. Assembly member?
Redner 4
I noticed in, the committee, backup material, there was reference to suggested amendments from the minority and wanted to see if, you'd reviewed the amendments, if you'd be open to responding to those.
Redner 1
I'm happy to respond to them. Did you have a specific question that you the reason for the minority non non support?
Redner 4
Yeah. I don't I think it's support if amended, and I think that it is focused on making sure that the the plans that are required under the legislation would not be duplicative of existing efforts
Redner 1
Okay. I would be happy to hear more about that. We were not given any analysis from the minority party. We just simply received notice that it was requested to come off of consent due to opposition, but I don't specifically know what that opposition is. Our staff did reach out, but I'm happy to entertain that if you'd like to share.
Redner 4
I think the the suggestion would be that, maybe some language that could be added down the the road that if, other plans can contain the information required under the bill, that we would, simply utilize those existing plans, augment them to comply with the requirements of of the legislation, but that we could piggyback on those existing planning documents.
Redner 1
Okay. I do appreciate that. Just to be clear, this is to be in addition to existing catastrophic plans. So this is to cover the missing gaps, to fill in the gaps of our existing catastrophic plans as was suggested and recommended way back in 2008. So it is not our intent to be duplicative.
We are looking to fill in the gaps with this bill in order to ensure that areas that were previously mentioned are also covered, so that we can be able to respond properly. Okay. But thank you very much. Good to me. I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Redner 3
