Authorities are still doing an assessment of the damages the storms wrought in Los Angeles County.
“By declaring a local emergency and state declaration, it allows the county to expeditiously respond and seek disaster assistance programs that are available,” McGowan said.
Frasher said the governor’s proclamation will allow the county to pursue state reimbursement of storm damages to infrastructure throughout its communities. County officials do not have an amount yet. The governor’s office and the governor’s Office of Emergency Services did not respond to emails and calls on Friday.
Public Works staff activate in advance of storms and coordinate with other county departments like fire, other agencies like the California Highway Patrol, local municipalities to prepare, according to Frasher. Teams were out on patrol so the roads were kept clear, snow plows were used in the mountains, and they notified the public about closed roads, he said.“While we were prepared for that, it did not pass,” Frasher said.
