SUBJECT: Termination of Local Emergency
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Terminate. local emergency proclamation which was issued as a
result of earthquakes which struck the Alamo area on April 27,
1990.
BACKGROUND
On May 1, 1990, the Board of Supervisors confirmed the County
Administrator's previous proclamation of a local emergency due to
the 4 . 6 and 4. 3 Richter magnitude earthquakes which occurred. in
the Alamo area beginning at 9:41 p.m. on April 27 , 1990. The
proclamation was recommended by the State Office of Emergency
Services, Region II Manager, as the initial step for the county to
request state and/or federal assistance if the extent of damage
had eventually been. determined to meet eligibility requirements.
Staff of the County Building Inspection.' Department have made 120
earthquake related inspections which have revealed damage to 82
homes with total estimated damages of $585;750. . There was no
major structural damage discovered. . Most of . the damage occurred
to brick chimneys, masonry veneer and dry wall. The extent of
damage does not qualify the homeowners for state or federal
disaster assistance.
Now that earthquake related damage has been determined and no
request for assistance beyond that locally available is necessary,
it is appropriate to terminate the local emergency proclamation.
