Updates from July - September 2022:

• Continued to work with the county Environmental Health Department team to support residents in the debris removal process stemming from the Rice’s Fire. This process involved ongoing dialogue with uninsured residents about their obligation to conduct debris removal on their property.  OES also advocated to the state on behalf of these residents in search of state support.
• Worked with FEMA to track county public costs stemming from the River Fire and enter these into the grant’s portal as projects for state and federal reimbursement.
• County reimbursed vendors (Fairgrounds & Schools) and mutual aid partners (law enforcement) from the Jones & River Fires.
• Met with CAL OES staff to discuss requirements for the December Winter Storm Recovery Project. 

Plans for next quarter;

• Take the Jones Fire state and federal reimbursement to the County Board of Supervisors for acceptance and will rescind the Local Emergency Proclamation.
• Submit the initial paperwork required for the state reimbursement of costs associated with the December Winter Storm event.
