RIVERSIDE — Riverside County Chief Executive Officer Jeff Van Wagenen declared a local emergency Monday for the entire county stemming from Tropical Storm Hilary impacts. The proclamation positions the county for state and federal aid that may come available due to the storm damage, which is still being assessed. The Board of Supervisors will review and formalize the local emergency declaration during its meeting on Aug. 29 — the first one following the governing body's nearly monthlong summer recess — as well as receive a report on conditions in the aftermath of Hilary.
