Huntington Beach and Fullerton joined a minority of Orange County, California, cities on July 6 in moving to end local emergency declarations.

While Fullerton City Council unanimously ended its local emergency declaration, Huntington Beach City Council unanimously took the first step toward its termination by directing the city manager to prepare the necessary documents.
