Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board ratified the Hopkins Fire Local Emergency Declaration at the September 21, 2021 meeting.
Summary of Request:
On September 12, 2021, the Hopkins Fire started and has resulted in structural damage and evacuations of several portions of the County. On September 16, 2021, the Mendocino County Health Officer issued a declaration of local health emergency as of September 12, 2021. On September 16, 2021, the Chief Executive Officer/Director of Emergency Services proclaimed the existence of a local emergency related to the Hopkins Fire.
With the heavy rain in the immediate forecast, there is potential public health and safety threat, especially 0n the residential properties located on East Side Calpella Road. CalOES has canceled the County’s request for aid and informed us that without a decision from the state proclamation office, they cannot assist the County.
At the October 19, 2021 the Board determined by majority vote that an emergency exists and this agenda item has been added for the Board to take action.
