On March 4, 2020, the Governor of California proclaimed a state of emergency exists in California after making determinations that: 1. The conditions caused by COVID-19 are likely to require the combined forces of a mutual aid region or regions to appropriately respond; and 2. Local authority is inadequate to cope with the threat posed by COVID-19. On March 12, 2020, the Alameda County Department of Public Health confirmed evidence of community -acquired transmission; On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States of America declared a national state of emergency in response to the spread of COVID-19 within the United States of America.

San Leandro Municipal Code section 3-4-124 authorizes the Director of Emergency Services to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency in the event the City Council is not in session. San Leandro Municipal Code section 3-4-105 defines emergencies as follows: (a) A "local emergency" exists when duly proclaimed, where conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of this City are or are likely to be beyond the control on this City and require the combined forces of other political subdivisions. Such a "local emergency" may be caused by such conditions as air pollution, fire, flood, storm, epidemic, riot, drought, sudden and severe energy shortage, plant or animal infestation or disease, the Governor's warning of an earthquake or volcanic prediction, or an earthquake or other conditions, other than a labor controversy. (b) A "state of emergency" exists, upon proclamation by the Governor where conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the State are or are likely to be beyond the control of any single county or city and will require the forces of a mutual aid region or response. This "state of emergency" may be caused by such conditions as air pollution, fire, flood, storm, epidemic, riot, drought, sudden and severe energy shortage, plant or animal infestation or disease, the Governor's warning of an earthquake or volcanic prediction, or an earthquake, or other conditions, other than a labor controversy or a "state of war" emergency.
