Sacramento, CA…Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order yesterday to further bolster the emergency response to severe winter storms and support impacted communities across the state. In the past week, California has secured a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration<\/a>\u00a0and a\u00a0Presidential Emergency Declaration<\/a>\u00a0to assist response and recovery efforts to the storms, which have resulted in at least 20 fatalities and forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With lingering storms expected through midweek, the state continues to work with local and federal partners to prepare for and respond to flooding, debris flow and other storm-related emergencies.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s executive order includes provisions that help ensure adequate staffing for the emergency response by waiving work hour limitations for retired annuitants; support impacted residents by waiving fees to replace records such as marriage and birth certificates; and provide flexibility to help health care facilities in impacted areas remain open and support schools in Merced County impacted by flooding.<\/p>\n

The text of the executive order can be found\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n

In recent weeks, Governor Newsom has met with evacuated residents\u00a0in Merced County<\/a>, assisted storm preparedness work\u00a0in Santa Barbara County<\/a>\u00a0and surveyed storm damage\u00a0in Santa Cruz County<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Sacramento County<\/a>\u00a0with state and local officials.
