AB: The California Seismic Safety Commission is a public policy advisory agency of state government. It uses several approaches to measuring progress, assigning priorities, and identifying earthquake risk management issues since its formation 30 years ago. Most issues are measured anecdotally and priorities are set by judgment. However, a few programs have measurement and monitoring systems in place such as the state's unreinforced masonry building retrofit program which issues biannual progress reports with mitigation rates for each local government. Other approaches include tracking large earthquake mitigation projects, and identifying gaps in efforts. These are summarized in the state's Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, Chapter 4 and its appendices as well as the California Earthquake Loss Reduction Plan which will be desribed briefly in this paper.
