OROVILLE DAM SPILLWAY INCIDENT UPDATE- FEB 17 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STATEMENT OF FACTS IN REPORTING

"Here is the latest update which I think is accurate as Kory Honea demanded accurate information, DWR is under the gun, FERC and the Army Corps is there. Note this is issued from the Butte County Emergency Services. To all that trust me if I think it is going south I will shout out. Please stop rumors that frighten people and stay alert until this passes. County Update
