San Diego County supervisors Wednesday unanimously ratified an emergency declaration to deal with the severe damage caused by a series of winter storms.
While such a downpour is great to ease the state's drought, it has wreaked havoc otherwise, said Toney, who added that the county has received some 50 damage claims from residents.
On Jan. 4, Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency, and President Biden also declared one for three California counties, although San Diego was not among them. Because the county must show $14.6 million in damages to meet certain funding requirements,"as we stand today, there is uncertainty on the level of assistance that we may receive," Toney said.
While the county could receive some state funding, that doesn't help individuals, Toney said. He added that the county will pursue other funding sources. Along with ratifying the declaration, supervisors were asked to"find that there continues to be the need for multiple agencies to combine forces to address public health and safety in response to the winter storms, and ... there is a need for continuing the local emergency until no longer needed subject to statutory review requirements," according to an agenda document.
