Extra Edition: California Major Disaster.
California was granted a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration, a move that brings federal aid to residents and businesses ravaged by the winter storms in the Central Coast and Central Valley. People in Kern, Monterey, Tulare and other counties will now be able to get housing assistance, food aid, and medical and legal services. Immigrants will be able to get some state aid and those households with a US citizen member in the family may be eligible for federal funds. In other news, as scientists predict an increase in these extreme events because of climate change, how can California prepare for a mega-flood and a mega-drought?
