The commissioners declared a disaster emergency on Monday, March 16, following similar measures taken by the federal and state governments. To support the ongoing monitoring of the coronavirus pandemic, the county has activated its Multi-Agency Coordination group, which will be set up at the county’s Emergency Operations Center. This will allow for ongoing collaboration and support of resources to support the response of the coronavirus pandemic.
