<br /> <br />By taking similar steps, communities across the country are duplicating San <br />Leandro's efforts to establish their own community-based, home seismic retrofitting <br />programs. San Leandro's program is one of the most extensive of its kind ever <br />developed.

The information contained in <br />the Hazardous Materials Business Plans and the Risk Management Plans was utilized <br />in this process. <br />The plan contains the following sections: purpose and objectives, administration, <br />agency coordination and other plans, planning and the community right to know, <br />reporting and notification, finance and cost recovery, communication, training, <br />supplies and equipment, emergency response procedures, post incident analysis and <br />follow-up, incident investigation, medial interface, and baseline medical monitoring.
