Bob redell is live outside the meeting right now. Oard were talking about a good y nk of money here. Would it go to agencies or homeowners or both of them . Reporter what is unusual about all this, sam, is that its unusual for the santa clara board of supervisors to proclaim a local emergency. He last time the county did such a thing was for a different south county fire. It was about 20 years ago according to the countys top executive. During its regular Board Meeting that is going on right now, the board is expected to extend the proclamation of a local emergency for the loma fire. This is a procedural move that will allow the county and people affected by the fire to apply for disaster aid from the golden state and uncle sam. The county may need the money to bnlp fix roads damaged by the fire fight and rehabilitate the county land scorched by the fire. The county tells us there are about 150 people, county residents who may have been affected and this will help make them available for government money to fix their homes and fix their reports. Reporter what would happen if you didnt have this proclamation . It would mean all the residents are on their own. And thats not really fair. So this will give them a chance to apply for funding for rebuilding, from the state and the feds.
