Newsom Issues Two Emergency Proclamations to Aid Recovery in Humboldt and Imperial Counties
California Governor Gavin Newsom issued two emergency proclamations in Sacramento on November 10 to support disaster recovery in Humboldt County and Imperial County, one addressing highway damage from the Mile Post 18 Fire in Humboldt County and the other addressing flood and infrastructure damage from an August monsoon storm in Imperial County.
The Mile Post 18 Fire burned approximately 7,600 acres in Humboldt County in August, including on the Hoopa Valley Reservation, and caused significant damage to State Route 96. The proclamation directs the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to request assistance through the Federal Highway Administration's Emergency Relief Program for highway repairs.
In Imperial County, an August 12 storm brought torrential rainfall and strong winds, causing widespread flooding and debris flows and damaging electrical infrastructure. The proclamation authorizes the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to provide assistance under the California Disaster Assistance Act to support infrastructure repairs.
The full texts of both emergency proclamations have been published by the Governor's Office.
