Monterey County Board to Renew Emergency Proclamation for Moss Landing
What happened
The Monterey County Board of Supervisors will vote on a resolution to renew the Proclamation of a Local Emergency in Moss Landing for another 60 days. This renewal is in response to a battery fire that occurred in January 2025, with the board also receiving an update on a September 18 fire. Supervisor Chief of Staff Yuri Anderson stated the resolution allows county resources to continue being deployed to address the emergency.
Why it matters
The renewal of the emergency declaration allows the Board of Supervisors to continue deploying county resources for cleanup and emergency response. It also enables the county to seek reimbursement from appropriate state or federal agencies for the ongoing situation.
