Obama declares Napa and Solano County a Major Disaster
A Major Disaster can be a result of hurricanes, earthquakes, flood, tornados or major fires; the President then determines warrants supplemental federal aid. The event must be clearly more than state or local governments can handle alone. If declared, funding comes from the President’s Disaster Relief Fund, managed by FEMA and disaster aid programs of other participating federal agencies.

Local architects and structural engineers are already doing assessments. NCL is in the process of setting up a historic preservation response center. We will give you a phone number and address as soon as we can.
NCL hopes everyone is staying safe and being careful after the earthquake. Currently we are providing support throughout the city during this difficult time. If you own or manage historic property affected by the Napa Earthquake, it is important to know where to turn for preservation assistance and guidance immediately after a disaster affects your building. Unless assessment and remedial actions are taken in a timely manner, historic and cultural resources may be unnecessarily damaged or lost.
