California SB1153 mandates urban retail water suppliers to include wildfire response procedures in their disaster plans.

California SB1153 requires urban retail water suppliers serving 3,300 or more people in high or very high fire hazard severity zones to include incident-specific response procedures for wildfires in their disaster preparedness plans. These plans must be reviewed and updated every five years. The bill emphasizes that public water systems are not designed for wildfire defense or suppression, and it protects operational and critical infrastructure information from public disclosure to safeguard public safety and security.
