Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Clovis

Since 1969, Fresno County has been named in 18 FEMA declarations; flooding (6 declarations) and severe storms (4 declarations) lead the list. If you plan across towns, check the page for Fresno as well; its own declaration history is listed there.

The most recent is Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4699), declared April 3, 2023, with the incident beginning February 21, 2023. Severe storms interrupt power, roads and deliveries together, which is hard on any operation that serves meals on a schedule. By incident type, the count is flooding 6, severe storms 4, wildfire 3, freezing conditions 3 and hurricane 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 1, 1980s 1, 1990s 6, 2000s 2, 2010s 1 and 2020s 6. The records also list Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3592, March 10, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4683, January 14, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (EM-3591, January 9, 2023), Wildfires (DR-4569, October 16, 2020) and Creek Fire (FM-5348, September 6, 2020).

NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 363 county-based severe-weather event records for Fresno County between 2016 and 2025, led by flood events (311) and high-wind and thunderstorm events (52). The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a tornado in January 2019, with about $500,000 in property damage. Floodwater leaves a building standing but unusable, so cooking, dishwashing and cold storage have to run from a trailer on higher, firm ground.

The National Interagency Fire Center maps 8 wildfires of 1,000 acres or more that started in Fresno County since 2016, together covering about 538,683 acres. The largest was the Creek fire in 2020, at 379,802 acres. A fire that never touches a kitchen can still close it: evacuation orders, smoke and utility shutoffs come first.

FEMA declarations apply to designated areas and do not say which individual buildings were affected.

Infrastructure work around Clovis

USASpending.gov lists 78 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more with work in Fresno County since October 2021, worth about $305 million together. USASpending.gov shows a $17 million Department of Defense contract, “Replacement of Fresno Jet Fuel Complex,” starting September 2020 in Fresno County (award record). The Department of Veterans Affairs committed $15 million to “Phase II Chiller Project for VA Central California Healthcare System” in Fresno County, awarded September 2019 (award record). Another public record is “Improve Site Access and Physical Security Deficiencies for VA Fresno,” a $13 million Department of Veterans Affairs contract from January 2024 in Fresno County (award record). In February 2025, the Department of Agriculture awarded a $10 million contract for “Jerseydale Work & Batterson Work Center Barracks” in Fresno County, with work running to January 2028 (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A job in Sanger (about 26,649 residents) raises the same crew-meal questions.

Major renovation in Clovis

The Department of Veterans Affairs committed $24 million to “Implementing Eo 14398 Dei Discrimination Renovate and Expand Chilled Water Infrastructure” in Fresno County, awarded October 2026 (award record). Another public record is “Renovate Sterile Processing & Supply (SPS),” a $19 million Department of Veterans Affairs contract from August 2023 in Fresno County (award record). In October 2026, the Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a $11 million contract for “Renovate Imaging and Cathertization Lab” in Fresno County, with work running to September 2028 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $11 million Department of Veterans Affairs contract, “Remodel Emergency Department (Ed) for Observation Beds,” starting March 2023 in Fresno County (award record). The closure date drives the plan in Fowler too.

Emergency equipment access around Clovis

The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and local emergency managers decide where public disaster staging happens in California. Those details are theirs to publish and update, so this page points to them instead of guessing at a route. For work in Parlier, look to the agencies covering that area rather than assuming the same routes.
