Following the September fires, Governor Newsom\u00a0proclaimed a state of emergency in Tuolumne County<\/a>, unlocking additional state assistance under the California Disaster Assistance Act. The proclamation directed the Governor\u2019s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to\u00a0partner with county officials on debris removal and watershed recovery efforts<\/a>\u00a0aimed at preventing toxic burn scar debris from contaminating local waterways.<\/p>\n

To support survivors, the state\u00a0helped establish a Local Assistance Center<\/a>\u00a0that connected residents with critical services and recovery resources. Additionally, Governor Newsom\u00a0secured federal support through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)<\/a>, providing low-interest disaster loans to help homeowners, renters, and small businesses rebuild.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
