The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District and Santa Monica College are collaborating on a “multi-jurisdictional, resources-saving planning process to complete a Disaster Mitigation Plan (DMA 2000) in compliance with new federal regulations,” according to a District spokesperson.
The mitigation plan, in the spokesperson’s words, “is a pre-disaster plan outlining strategies and an implementation process that will lower the District’s risk and exposure to a disaster…[and]relies on information supplied by the District’s community members, students, teachers, vendors, and government agencies.”People who want to participate in the process should complete the “Hazards Mitigation and Preparedness Questionnaire,” which can be found on line at www.smmusd.org (click on District Information in the left-hand column, and then click on the box that says Hazard Mitigation Planning). To receive a hard copy, contact the Risk Management Office at (310) 450-8338, ext. 310.
