Governor Gavin Newsom had already declared his own state of emergency for California earlier this month in the wake of a storm system whose impact left behind a trail of downed trees, damaged power lines and dilapidated roads.
President Joe Biden approved California's emergency declaration as the state continues to face severe storms, flooding and mudslides, the White House announced Monday morning.
With Biden's approval, the federal government can now bring assistance to state, local and tribal response efforts. Specifically, the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency will be able to coordinate their relief efforts and provide needed assistance depending upon which emergency measures go into effect in the coming days.
His proposal comes on the heels of another atmospheric river, which will bring high winds and heavy rain and snow into the state. More precipitation is expected through Monday night.
