Placer County officials have received word the series of storms that tore through the area in early January didn’t do enough damage to qualify for federal assistance.

During the severe storms, numerous residential and commercial buildings in Placer County were damaged. The Placer County Office of Emergency Services contacted cities and special districts within the county and collected information on damages.

Totals were compiled and submitted to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, which collected damage information from all California counties.

Had the damage triggered a federal presidential disaster declaration, federal assistance would have become available through the Individual Assistance program for homeowners and through the Small Business Administration Disaster Loan Program for commercial buildings.
