Officials say more than half of Sonoma County's staff of about 1,800 people worked to help evacuate residents and deal with emergency services, communications and other needs after the Northern
California county declared a state of emergency because of wildfire.
The Sonoma County Board reviewed its operations at an emergency board meeting Wednesday night.
The Northern California wine country county has been aggressive about its disaster response preparation in the wake of a series of devastating wildfires that killed 44 people and destroyed thousands of homes two years ago.
