PRESIDENT HAS DECLARED AN

EMERGENCY OVER THE SITUATION AT

THE OROVILLE DAM.

KPIX 5'S MELISSA CAEN SHOWS US

WHAT THIS MEANS IN TERMS OF

MONEY AND RESOURCES.

GIVEN THE ICY RELATIONSHIP

BETWEEN CALIFORNIA AND

WASHINGTON, IT WASN'T TOTALLY

CLEAR PRESIDENT TRUMP WOULD

ACTUALLY ALLOW CALIFORNIA TO GET

FEDERAL FUNDS. BUT HE HAS. TO

GET MOST FEDERAL AID AFTER A

NATURAL DISASTER, THE PRESIDENT

HAS

TO DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY.

GOVERNOR BROWN ASKED PRESIDENT

TRUMP TO DECLARE TWO EMERGENCIES

- ONE FOR THE JANUARY FLOODING

UP NORTH AND ONE FOR THE RECENT

ORIVILLE INCIDENT. AND LATE

TODAY THE PRESIDENT GRANTED BOTH

REQUESTS.

The President's been keeping a

close eye on

the Oroville dam situation in

California DESPITE THE TENSIONS

BETWEEN CALIFORNIA AND THE WHITE

HOUSE, PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESMAN

SEAN SPICER SAID TODAY THE

PRESIDENT SUPPORTS USING FEDERAL

RESOURCES TO HELP

"We hope everyone remains safe

as the evacuations continue and

we will be working alongside

with FEMA and appropriate

government entities to make sure

that we are doing everything we

can to attend to this matter."

(ADS)

LATE TODAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP

DECLARED AN EMERGENCY FREEING UP

FEDERAL FUNDS.... SPECIFICALLY

TO DEAL WITH THE POTENTIAL

FAILURE OF THE EMERGENCY

SPILLWAY. (DELETE)

FEMA ALREADY HAS PEOPLE AND

SUPPLIES IN PLACE AND READY TO

GO. DOCTOR ASHSA TRIBBLE IS THE

HEAD OF THE REGIONAL FEMA

OFFICE. [AHSHA]

we prepositioned assets - we

have teams are up in the state

operation center as well as the

flood operation center and

dispersed throughout the

northern part of the state so we

have about hundred nine federal

responders right now that are

out there pre-positioned to

support THEY'RE ALSO ACTIVELY

DELIVERING SUPPLIES TO EVACUEES

- AS OF TODAY 276 THOUSAND

LITERS OF WATER, 45 THOUSAND

BLANKETS, 13 COTS AND MORE THAN

FORTY THOUSAND MEALS.

WITH RAIN EXPECTED LATER THIS

WEEK, A FEMA EMERGENCY RESPONSE

TEAM IS IN SACRAMENTO AND THIS

OAKLAND OFFICE WILL operate

24/7. [AHSHA]

we're gonna execute our mission.

We've have not been told to do

anything otherwise. FEMA is

going to be there. FEMA is going

to respond,

NOW THAT THE EVACUATION ORDER

HAS BEEN LIFTED, FEMA SAYS THE

ACT

EVACUATION ORDER HAS BEEN

LIFTED, FEMA SAYS THE ACT OF

GETTING PEOPLE BACK INTO THEIR

HOMES IS USUALLY A LOCAL EFFORT.

BUT FEMA IS STANDING BY, READY

TO HELP PEOPLE AREN'T GOING BACK

HOME JUST YET, AND

THEY'RE READY IN CASE THE RAIN

LATER THIS WEEK CAUSES ANOTHER

EMERGENCY.
