A series of public meetings will be convened across the state to get input from Californians on how the state should prepare for climate risks.

The California Natural Resources Agency in coordination with other state agencies will be drafting the new Safeguarding California Plan, an update to the 2009 climate adaptation strategy, and is inviting public input on key issues and approaches that stakeholders feel should be addressed in the update.

The California Natural Resources Agency is planning to release a draft version of the Safeguarding California Plan for public review and comment by the end of 2013.

The closest meeting to Tahoe is Oct. 11, 10am-3pm, Town Hall-Council Chambers, 10183 Truckee Airport Road, Truckee.
