The resolution extends the governor's declaration of a disaster emergency related to the 2025 West Coast Storm, which was initially declared on October 9, 2025, and has been previously extended multiple times. The current extension will last until March 8, 2026, and is retroactively effective from February 6, 2026. This extension is necessary due to the ongoing severe effects of the storm, which require continued emergency response efforts and support for infrastructure systems.
Additionally, the resolution approves an amended financing plan submitted by the governor, which includes an increase of $5,500,000 in disaster relief funds, bringing the total financing plan to $39,250,000. This plan outlines the estimated costs associated with the disaster, including $18,750,000 in federal authority and $20,500,000 in state general funds. The resolution ensures that the necessary funding and resources are available to address the ongoing impacts of the storm effectively.
