A declaration of a state of emergency is a preparedness measure. It authorizes government agencies to mobilize resources quickly to respond to any noted threat. For this reason, while there are still only a few known active coronavirus cases in California, Governor Newsom and Mayor Garcetti have declared an official state of emergency for both the State of California and the City of Los Angeles, to allocate the resources necessary to preparing for and preventing the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

Homeless people are urinating the city ! San Francisco is full of poop on the side walks !
Really.....get people to stop defecating and urinating in the park. That’s more concerning than the coronavirus.
