Emergency Proclamation Made

Janice Hahn, chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, has proclaimed a local emergency in the County of Los Angeles in response to the Getty Fire in Los Angeles and the Oak Fire in Calabasas. This is the third local fire emergency she has proclaimed in less than three weeks. 

The proclamation of a local emergency allows Los Angeles County to enact emergency powers to support the response to the fire. This includes an expedited procurement process for resources and allows the County to enforce emergency evacuations. It also allows the County to be eligible for cost recovery from the state and federal governments and may allow individual citizens to qualify for disaster relief.
