Implementation
Require that future updates to the County’s LHMP incorporate a comprehensive evaluation of sea-level rise in the County and associated risk management processes as the degree of sea-level rise manifests and as more data become available.
Benefits: Future updates to the County’s LHMP to include sea-level rise hazards would increase Sacramento County’s resilience to higher sea levels, because future LHMPs would assess the geographic extent, probability of future occurrences, magnitude/severity, significance, and climate change influence of sea-level rise as it relates to the County. The LHMP’s assessment of these factors would assist with the development of future mitigation actions.
Timeframe: Midterm/ongoing
