“We have to be back in response because the southern end of town really took it hard this time.” “We are kind of starting over – we had moved from our response to recovery, and now we are basically in both,” Garnes told CNN’s Pamela Brown Sunday. Garnes said 27 homes were red-tagged – meaning they were unsafe due to damage – and 73 homes yellow-tagged in Rio Dell from that quake.

A 6.4 earthquake that shook the region on December 20 left two people dead. This is the second earthquake to strike the Northern California region in less than a month. Following the quake, nearly half the population was left homeless and the resulting fires (which lasted for three days) destroyed nearly 30,000 buildings. Garnes said a neighbor’s house also had a crack in the wall from the quake.
