. The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(a) Because of the generally acknowledged fact that California
will experience moderate to severe earthquakes in the foreseeable
future, increased efforts to reduce earthquake hazards should be
encouraged and supported.
(b) In order to minimize loss of life and disruption, it is
necessary for all private elementary schools and high schools to
develop school disaster plans and specifically an earthquake
emergency procedure system so that pupils and staff will act
instinctively and correctly when an earthquake disaster strikes.
(c) It is therefore the intent of the Legislature in enacting this
article to authorize the establishment of earthquake emergency
procedure systems in kindergarten and grades 1 through 12 in all
private schools in California.
