CSAC continues to monitor and engage on the continued parade of
storms and atmospheric rivers affecting all 58 counties that
started before the start of the new year. Major impacts are
affecting counties—from coastal and river flooding to roadway
damage, levee failures and school closures. Widespread
precipitation is still expected through the rest of this week and
into next week. Statewide rain and heavy mountain snow are also
expected.
The state requested a
federal emergency declaration for 41 counties needing federal
and FEMA assistance, and continues to monitor remaining counties.
In addition, state and federal agencies are sending support crews
to areas with unexpected needs as situations arise. Federal
disaster assistance has been made available to the state of
California and select counties. If funding becomes available, it
will be posted on FEMA’s website.
A list of statewide and local resources, including disaster
assistance, is made available
here.
The state continues to follow local storm and flooding impacts
with new areas identified daily. We encourage counties to follow
the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal-OES)
Statewide
Situation Key Messages. These can be downloaded daily (end of
day) at the end of the day. Cal-OES is coordinating with local
and federal partners to identify locations for shelters and posts
locations on their
website.
CSAC is monitoring the impacts of the storms and is available to
support counties as they navigate the need for state and federal
resources for emergency and recovery.
