for the abatement of falling hazards that are structural or
nonstructural components of buildings and that pose serious threats
to life, including, but not limited to, parapets, appendages,
cornices, hanging objects, and building cladding.
   (c) Building seismic retrofit guidelines shall include provisions
for the strengthening of structures of buildings, or the means
necessary to reduce the response of a building to ground shaking
during an earthquake, so as to significantly reduce the hazards to
life, while concomitantly providing for safe egress of occupants
during and immediately after an earthquake.
   (d) Building seismic retrofit guidelines shall be consistent with
the state Historical Building Code (Part 2.7 (commencing with Section
18950), Division 13) and shall include provisions for the

Commission, in cooperation with the Structural Engineers Association
of California, shall submit the regulations, findings, and data
developed according to this chapter to model code writing agencies
and organizations for review and development into code format for
