The Mile Post 18 Fire burned about 7,600 acres in Humboldt County in August, including land on the Hoopa Valley Reservation, and significantly damaged State Route 96, according to the governor's office. The proclamation allows the California Department of Transportation to seek federal assistance for highway repairs through the Federal Highway Administration's Emergency Relief Program.
