Not subject to CEQA pursuant to PRC § 21065 and CEQA Guidelines § 15378(b)(5)
Reasons for Exemption
The action is not a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is therefore not subject to CEQA pursuant to PRC § 21065 and CEQA Guidelines § 15378(b)(5), because it is an administrative activity of government that does not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.

Reasons for Exemption
In the alternative, if the action were considered a project, it is statutorily exempt pursuant to PRC § 21080(b)(4) and CEQA Guidelines § 15269(c) as a specific action necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency by supporting the County's emergency preparedness and hazard mitigation planning framework.
Exempt Status
