President Biden has approved emergency assistance amid the dangerous storm that is seeing massive flooding in many parts of California, which has prompted evacuations
in 21 counties, activating the California National Guard and other state agencies to respond to storm-related emergencies.
“This is an unrivaled, unparalleled weather event not experienced in several decades,” Kris Mattarochia, science and operations officer with the National Weather Service in Hanford, said during a briefing in Fresno. “There will be high water and areas that are usually not impacted.

Operators also were ramping up releases from Lake Shasta, Millerton Lake and Folsom Lake, among others, to prevent overtopping. Folsom Lake primarily acts as a flood-control system for the Sacramento area.As yet another series of storms were forecast to hit California, state and federal officials outlined their preparations for flood control Thursday.
