(San Diego, CA) — Governor Gavin Newsom is ending 26 open state of emergency declarations dating back six years in California. The Governor is ending specific emergencies from more than a dozen wildfires, and other incidents like the desert earthquakes over the 4th of July in 2019, the Orange County oil pipeline spill from 2021, and the Oroville Dam collapse from February of 2017. He is also ending statewide emergencies like the fire weather and forest conditions declarations from 2019 and the monkeypox declaration from August of last year. The pandemic state of emergency for covid-19 will expire at the end of the month in California, nearly three years to the date of the first stay at home orders.
