Trump approves funds for California relief
By Christopher Cadelago, Sacramento Bee
President Trump announced Sunday more than a half-billion dollars would be coming to California to help cover the damage from the winter storms, including $274 million for repairs to the Oroville Dam spillway.
The fulfillment of the fourth presidential declaration for damage from the winter storms totals an estimated $540 million.
Trump’s fourth declaration makes available money for hazard mitigation measures statewide. It covers 42 counties, including Sacramento, Yolo, Amador, Yuba, El Dorado, Merced and San Luis Obispo. The White House said additional designations can be made later if requested by the state and warranted by further damage assessments.
