Orange County extends local health emergency for Trabuco Canyon airport fire; sets 30‑day review cadence
Summary
The Board extended a local health emergency declared Sept. 20, 2024, for the Trabuco Canyon airport fire to allow debris and ash removal and mitigation, and set a review date of May 6, 2025, with subsequent 30‑day reviews until termination.
The Orange County Board of Supervisors on April 8 approved continuation of a local health emergency issued Sept. 20, 2024, related to the Trabuco Canyon airport fire to facilitate debris and ash removal and mitigation measures to protect water wells.
The Health Care Agency’s item authorized the continuation and set a formal review on May 6, 2025 at 9:30 a.m., with review every 30 days thereafter until the emergency is terminated. The board recorded no requests to speak on the item and voted to continue the emergency without discussion.
The extension allows county staff and contractors to proceed with debris removal and mitigation activities under the emergency declaration and maintains the board’s option to reassess the need for continued emergency authority at regular intervals.
