Due to the severity of the storms, the Chair of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, Janet Nguyen, proclaimed a Local Emergency on behalf of all cities and jurisdictions in Orange County. The Local Emergency Proclamation was then sent to the Acting Governor who declared a State of Emergency for Orange as well as six other counties.

After a State of Emergency and Presidential Disaster Declaration was received, Orange County became eligible for financial assistance. FEMA provides supplemental assistance for State and local government recovery expenses, and the Federal share is 75 percent of the eligible costs.
