A state of emergency was declared in Orange County on Saturday after a hazardous chemical incident at an aerospace facility prompted the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents. The proclamation directs the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and other state agencies to assist Orange County and local jurisdictions with the response.
The declaration unlocks additional emergency powers, including possible use of state-owned properties and fairgrounds as temporary shelters for evacuated residents. Officials have not announced when residents may return home while crews continue monitoring conditions around the facility. This is a developing story.
