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

California SB1153 requires urban retail water suppliers serving 3,300 or more people in high or very high fire hazard severity zones to incorporate wildfire response procedures into their disaster preparedness plans. These plans must include mitigation actions, preparation steps, and response actions. The bill emphasizes that these plans do not guarantee water supply or pressure maintenance during wildfires and do not affect liability for damages. Urban retail water suppliers must review and update these plans every five years.
