Please be advised that today, a proclamation of local emergency has been issued and signed by the Director of OES for Sierra County and this proclamation will be scheduled for ratification by the Board of Supervisors on January 17, 2017. We strongly suggest that the City of Loyalton through its Mayor, make a similar proclamation consistent with its appropriate City Code provisions if it has suffered property damages, infrastructure impacts, equipment losses, or has strained the ability of local resources and finance to deal with this series of storms. If the city declares, the County and the City can coordinate restoration and funding activities in response to the recent storms.
The Sierra County proclamation is joined by 24 California counties; 10 California cities; and numerous Tribes and Special Districts impacted by the recent storms and flood events and these entities have also proclaimed a local emergency. Lassen, Placer, El Dorado, Yuba, and Plumas counties have proclaimed and we expect Nevada to proclaim if not already accomplished.
A brief situation report is in preparation and should be issued soon. Thank you and a copy of the County proclamation will be forwarded to you as soon as it is conveyed to State OES, FEMA, and the Governor’s Office.
