(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – Governor Newsom yesterday added 21 additional counties – including Yuba and Butte – to the 13 counties in his initial State of Emergency declaration earlier this week. Those counties were primarily in Southern California, although Glenn County was included.

The updated list of 21 counties includes Sacramento – but not Sutter, Colusa or Glenn.

The declaration allows state support to county-led emergency response to be employed at a faster rate and provides coordination assistance for mutual aid from neighboring jurisdictions.
