Cupertino extends deadline for feedback on health and safety plan covering climate risks
Share this:
The city of Cupertino has extended the public comment period for its draft Health and Safety Element through May 8, inviting residents to weigh in on policies addressing natural hazards and climate risks, city officials announced.
The Health and Safety Element is a required part of the city’s General Plan and outlines strategies to protect people and property from threats such as earthquakes, flooding, wildfires and extreme heat, according to the city.
City officials said the updated draft incorporates the latest science on local hazards and includes policies aimed at improving emergency preparedness and long-term community resilience.
The document also assesses vulnerabilities to climate change and proposes actions to reduce risks tied to fire danger, seismic activity, flooding, and hazardous materials.
Residents can review the draft online and can submit feedback during the public review period via email or traditional mail, Attn: Planning Division, 10300 Torre Ave., Cupertino, CA 95014.
