Since the Emergency Declaration was issued, more than 50 encampments near freeways or high crash corridors have been removed. The removal process for unsanctioned camping has not changed due to the Emergency Declaration. Sites still need to be assessed and posted with a minimum of 72 hours and maximum of 10 days’ notice.
Areas along highways deemed most dangerous are being addressed first. The criteria for ranking locations is based on their proximity to fast moving vehicles.
