Description

OES leads crisis and disaster recovery efforts, including support for residents seeking public Assistance, County reimbursement from State and Federal sources, as well as hazard remediation and debris removal.


Progress Update

Highlights from Q2 (April-June 2023) include:

  • Staff worked with CAL OES and FEMA to complete the River Fire Public Assistance Reimbursement claim and expecting county reimbursement in the next quarter.
  • OES worked with CAL OES Recovery staff to move projects along from the January 2022 Winter Storm.
  • Staff were able to advocate for the Nevada County Operational Area and gain inclusion into the FEMA Federal Presidential Declaration (DR-4699) for public costs stemming from the February/March 2023 Winter Storms. 
  • Staff took CAL OES, the Small Business Association and FEMA representatives out to tour damaged homes across both Easter and Western Nevada County. This tour along with OES advocacy resulted in Nevada County residents becoming qualified for the Federal Presidential FEMA Individual Assistance Programming

Next Steps

Plans for Q3 (July-September 2023) include:

  • Staff will move forward the January Winter Storm CDAA Recovery Claim as well as the CDAA & FEMA February/March Winter Storm Recovery Claim.
  • Staff will work on an evergreen recovery website that residents can reference all year long for disaster recovery information. 
  • Staff will stand up two Local Assistance Centers in both Eastern and Western Nevada County to support resident recovery and access to state and federal programming as it relates to the February/March winter storms.
