The special meeting was held at 4:15 p.m. at the County's Emergency Operations Center. The County also has activated its Emergency Operation Center.
The proclamation is a necessary step to provide for orders, funding and the use of additional resources when a large-scale emergency, such as a fire, requires evacuations or has the potential to disrupt normal government and public operations.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today visited the County's Emergency Operation Center to sign a state declaration of emergency regarding the Zaca Fire.
