Submitted by City of Carmel

Finkam

On Friday, Aug. 21, Carmel Mayor Sue Finkam signed Executive Order SF-2026-06 extending the city’s emergency declaration for an additional seven days. The extension ensures the continued mobilization of city resources, streamlined administrative response protocols and ongoing coordination with state and county emergency management agency officials.

The extended declaration prolongs the measures established under the previous order, which expired Saturday, Aug. 22, to maintain community safety and ensure smooth municipal service delivery during the ongoing response efforts.

“Extending this local emergency declaration allows us to maintain necessary operational flexibilities, secure critical relief resources and continue to prioritize the health and safety of our community,” Mayor Finkam said.

Under the terms of the updated order, the emergency status will remain active through Saturday, Aug. 29, subject to periodic review by city administration. Essential operations including police, fire, emergency medical services and public works will remain fully operational under enhanced response protocols to address any continuing impacts throughout the city.
