Disaster Council - 5/20/26

The Sacramento County Disaster Council held a meeting on May 20, 2026, focusing on emergency management coordination and planning. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Integrated Preparedness Plan, which involve multi-jurisdictional risk assessments and strategy development to enhance disaster readiness. The council also reviewed the Fire Safe Council report, highlighting ongoing grant-funded wildfire mitigation projects, including a $4.5 million ladder fuels reduction grant awarded to the Rancho Murieta Fire Safe Council. Motions were passed to adopt bylaws with minor corrections and to approve the Disaster Service Worker Volunteer Program calendar. The meeting emphasized collaboration among local agencies, grant application efforts, and the importance of coordinated training and resource sharing to optimize emergency preparedness without direct new funding allocations from the council itself.
