NEW: California just secured a Presidential Emergency Declaration for the Garden Grove hazmat incident. Working closely with local responders, the state has moved aggressively to protect residents in the impacted area. This morning, @OCFireAuthority announced that the risk of a massive explosion has been mitigated. This new federal assistance will further bolster our resources to help resolve this situation.

California just secured a Fire Management Assistance Grant via @FEMA to bolster our response to the #SandyFire in Ventura County. As we continue to mobilize resources to protect communities, I urge Californians in impacted areas to follow guidance from local officials.

At the press conference this morning, the Problem Solvers Caucus raised urgent concerns about the state’s fuel supply and energy security. In a letter to the California Energy Commission, we warn that shrinking fuel inventories, heavy reliance on imports, and global instability are putting California at risk of supply disruptions and rising prices. We are calling for immediate transparency, overdue reports, and a clear emergency strategy—including supply flexibility, better monitoring, and coordination with the California Air Resources Board. Bottom line: California’s current fuel trajectory is unsustainable—and action is needed now to prevent deeper economic and energy disruptions. @AlvarezSD @SenValladares @AsmAnamarie @juanalanis @AsmLaurieDavies @DianeDixonAD72 Asm Stan Ellis @hhadwickAD1 Asm Tom Lackey @SenRogerNiello #caleg

I'm announcing a new executive order to further support homeowners, residents, and small businesses impacted by the LA wildfires. Recovery isn't easy, but by cutting red tape and fast-tracking processes that once took months, we're delivering real, on-the-ground progress.
