PRESS RELEASE

The Sanger City Council voted to proclaim the existence of a local emergency within the City of Sanger due to the imminent and proximate threat of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The action took place during a Special Council Meeting on March 17, 2020, following similar actions by the County of Fresno and many other cities across the state.

The declaration of local emergency will allow the City to more effectively respond to the growing health emergency and prepares for the possibility of federal and state reimbursement of emergency costs.
