Supporting ongoing wildfire recovery efforts, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaims a state of emergency in Santa Barbara County

Governor Gavin Newsom today declared a state of emergency in Monterey County and Santa Barbara County owing to the effects of the Colorado Fire and Alisal Fire, respectively, in support of ongoing wildfire recovery operations.

A further executive order prohibiting price gouging in Butte, El Dorado, and Plumas counties was also issued by the governor, and it will remain in effect until September 30, 2022.

The emergency declarations provide Caltrans the ability to apply for immediate federal aid for Santa Barbara and Monterey county roadway repairs or reconstruction.

In accordance with the California Disaster Assistance Act, the emergency proclamation for Santa Barbara County directs the Office of Emergency Services to support recovery efforts in the county and includes a clause to make it simpler for those who lost their jobs as a result of the Alisal Fire to access unemployment benefits.

Below are copies of the executive order and emergency proclamations:

The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team.
