As California has weathered extreme weather the past few months resulting in rain, snow, wind and flooding, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) has led the efforts to respond to and recover from these widespread storm impacts. Involving nearly every part of state government, the work now turns to recovery where thousands of Cal OES, state agency staff and local partners work diligently to ensure Californians can get back on the road to recovery.

MAJOR DISASTER DECLARATION
The state of California is committed to continuing our support to California communities and maximizing state and federal aid to those who have been adversely impacted by the February and March storms.
On April 3, 2023, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., approved the request for a Major Disaster Declaration. The President can declare a Major Disaster Declaration for any natural event that the President believes has caused damage of such severity that it is beyond the combined capabilities of state and local governments to respond. A Major Disaster Declaration provides a wide range of federal assistance programs for individuals and public infrastructure. To learn more about the federal assistance available from the February and March storms, visit this page.
