Office of Land Use and Climate innovation: fire hazard planning.
- Requires more frequent updates to California's fire hazard planning guidance starting January 2026.
- Mandates updates every 5 years instead of every 8 years to improve fire safety strategies.
- Maintains collaboration between state fire agencies and safety experts on guidance updates.
Assembly Member Bryan's proposal to modify California's fire hazard planning guidance updates would require the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation to revise its technical advice series every five years instead of every eight years, beginning January 1, 2026.
The Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation currently maintains the "Fire Hazard Planning, General Plan Technical Advice Series" in consultation with the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, and fire safety experts. This document outlines land use strategies for reducing fire risks to buildings, infrastructure, and communities. Under existing law, the Office must update this guidance document every eight years following its initial July 2020 revision.
The proposed change maintains the same collaborative structure and document scope while adjusting only the mandated update frequency. The Office would continue working with the same partner agencies and experts to incorporate current fire safety strategies and land use planning approaches into the guidance series.
