Under the California Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1986, the California Seismic Safety Commission is required to update the state earthquake loss reduction plan and recommend new policies for managing that state's earthquake risk. This plan is designed to guide the state executive and legislative branches in determining priorities and overall implementation strategies for seismic safety. It incorporates lessons gained from the Northridge earthquake in 1994 and the Kobe, Japan quake a year later, and focuses on 11 elements: geosciences; research and technology; education and information; economics; land use; existing buildings; new construction; utilities and transportation; preparedness; emergency response; and, recovery. It identifies 44 strategies and 120 initiatives to be accomplished by the private sector and state and local governments
