Summary: In December 2019 an outbreak of respiratory illness due to a novel coronavirus (a disease now known as COVID-19) was identified and has impacted more than 75 countries including the United States. On March 8, 2020, the County of Riverside Public Health Officer declared a Local Health Emergency subsequently ratified by the Board of Supervisors on March 10, 2020; on March 10, 2020, the County of Riverside Board of Supervisors proclaimed a Local Emergency; on March 13, 2020, President Trump declared a national state of emergency; on March 16, 2020, the Public Health Officer of the County of Riverside ordered the cancelling of all gatherings with expected presence above 10 individuals; and on March 17, 2020, the Public Health Officer of the County of Riverside amended a previous order dated March 13, 2020 closing all schools including, but not limited to, all preschools, K-12 public, private and charter schools, community colleges, public, private, nonprofit and for profit colleges and universities beginning March 16, 2020 through April 3, 2020. The order closing all schools was later amended to extend the closure through April 30, 2020, and on April 1, 2020, the order was again amended extending the closure through June 19, 2020. Further, also on April 1, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that schools will remain physically closed, providing only distance learning through the end of the 2019-20 school year.

This Resolution establishes that an emergency exists, and that if mutual aid of in-county resources are needed to assist the Perris Union High School District as covered under the California Master Mutual Aid Agreement and any local agreements to provide mutual aid should be sufficient to establish, and that the Emergency Services Act applies.
