California AB719 would require counties to review and update their emergency plans every two years.

California AB719 amends the Government Code to mandate that each county review and update its emergency plan at least every two years. The Office of Emergency Services would develop best practices for these plans and establish a process for counties to request reviews of their plans. Upon review, the Office would provide feedback on the sufficiency of the plans, focusing on consistency with best practices, protection of vulnerable populations, and procedures for alerting, evacuating, and sheltering individuals during emergencies.
