The Delta Risk Management Strategy (DRMS) meeting held on February 27, 2007, addressed ongoing efforts to assess the risks facing Delta levees, including subsidence, earthquakes, floods, and climate change. This meeting outlined the framework established by AB 1200, emphasizing the need for a robust risk analysis and development of management strategies. The DRMS phases involve comprehensive evaluations by various experts, with reports due in 2008, aimed at enhancing water supply quality, protecting the Delta ecosystem, and ensuring the resilience of infrastructure.
