The California Department of Water Resources, together with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, continue to assess the Oroville Dam Spillway for issues related to its stability and integrity resulting from its failure earlier this month.  

In addition, in response to the dynamic situation associated to this incident (and its subsequent evacuation of 180,000 people), Governor Brown issued an order proclaiming states of emergency in Butte, Yuba, and Sutter counties, and activated the State Emergency Operations Center at Mather.  The Governor also submitted an emergency declaration request to the Trump Administration for assistance in the affected counties.
