• Kern County supervisors to consider extending local emergency proclamation for September 2025 flooding (kget.com) — Kern County officials are weighing whether to extend the local emergency declaration tied to the September 2025 flooding that heavily affected the Johannesburg and Randsburg areas and nearby communities. Supervisors will meet Tuesday morning in Bakersfield to decide if ongoing damage and risks in eastern Kern, including impacts to the Rand Communities Water District, still warrant emergency status and continued pursuit of state disaster assistance.
