Governor Newsome Thanks All First Responders for Recent Storm Efforts

Wednesday, Governor Gavin Newsome thanked first responders for their efforts over the past weeks to help keep Californians safe during record-breaking winter storms. More than a foot of rain fell in parts of Southern California, hurricane-force wind gusts in Northern California, and daily rainfall records were broken, including the second-highest rainfall amount recorded over 3 days in downtown Los Angeles. Emergency responders supported communities with roadways, flood operations, rescue teams, shelters, and more.
