<br />PE-3 Expand existing disclosure programs to include aU hazards, including <br />earthquake, flood, Itmdslide and wildland fire. <br /> <br />There are a number of real estate programs in effect. However, not all <br />hazards are covered under these programs. Additionally, potential home <br />buyers often do not understand the intent or implications of these <br />disclosures. OES will explore, with appropriate agencies, the feasibility <br />of expanding existing disclosure programs. <br /> <br />PE-4 Promote pubHc awareness of winter storms, spring floods and the rainy <br />SINIson through the NWS, fairs and awareness campaigns. <br /> <br />As a public service, the NWS provides weather information to the public. <br />The potential risks associated with these hazards and information on <br />warning systems need to be a part of the public service information so <br />individuals can understand the complete process. <br /> <br />An annual Flood Awareness Week campaign should be used to <br />disseminate information involving FEMA-NFIP, OES, DWR and NWS. <br /> <br />PE-5 Include NatiolJ/ll Flood Insurance Program brochures with monthly utility <br />bUls. <br /> <br />FEMA-NFIP. in cooperation with OES and local floodplain management <br />offices, will coordinate with local utility companies to make appropriate <br />brochures available. This action would help increase awareness of the <br />benefits of buying flood insurance and protection against flood losses. <br /> <br />PE-6 Work with communities to provide pubHc eV/lCuation or warning <br />information to fIoodprone recreational areas. At II minimum, signs <br />regarding potential flooding could be posted. A long term approach IIJ/IY <br />be adopting specific flood ordinances. <br /> <br />The 1992 IHMT indicated that recreational vehicles frequented <br />commercial or unauthorized parking sites adjacent to lakes, rivers and <br />streams. Without warning information, lives are at risk due to flash <br />flooding. USACE and DWR should identify high risk areas and develop <br />a warning sign system for these locations. <br /> <br />JJ-J ~ R.,-t <br />~ 1995 <br /> <br />24 <br />
