State of Emergency Declared for El Dorado and Siskiyou Counties

On Wednesday, Governor Jerry Brown declared a statewide emergency for El Dorado and Siskiyou Counties due to the devastating effects of recent wildfires, which have burned tens of thousands of acres and destroyed hundreds of homes.  “The wildfires in Northern California serve as a reminder that dry conditions can be the precursor to devastating loss,” said Governor Brown.  

Last week, the Governor issued Executive Order B-25-14, which waives fees to replace copies of birth certificates and drivers licenses for individuals who have been affected by the fires.
