Drought declarations affect nearly every county

Drought has hit California hard. Fifty-three of the state's 58 counties are eligible for federal government assistance because of drought.



The only five not eligible are Del Norte in the north and Imperial, Orange, Riverside and San Diego in the south. Government programs include assistance payments and emergency loans and, in some counties, funds for livestock forage. Counties adjacent to those declared disaster counties are also eligible for assistance.
