Office Building Closures Due to Flooding and High Winds (State of Emergency)
Last week Governor Gavin Newsom declared a temporary state of emergency. Everyone is urged to be cautious of flash flooding and the dangers of high winds and falling branches and trees. This afternoon (Sunday January 9, 2023) in addition to declaring a state of emergency because of the deadly storm (12 people have died in the storm since the end of December) the governor has requested a Presidential Emergency Declaration to address the impact of this unusual weather emergency. As of today the California Department of Transportation is advising no non-essential travel on Monday and Tuesday.
In response to this emergency, Valley Mountain Regional Center will remain open for business and serve our community to the best of our ability during this time, but we will close our buildings on Monday January 9, 2023 and Tuesday January 10, 2023 out of an abundance of caution to reduce the risk to our staff, and the people we serve. As of this time we fully anticipate reopening the building on Wednesday January 11th (remember we are still open for business remotely and by telephone).
