LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Tuesday ratified a local emergency declaration issued following the eruption of the series of Southland wildfires, adding to state and federal emergency proclamations.

The proclamations were declared to provide immediate access to recovery resources and funds. Supervisor Kathryn Barger, the board chair, signed a county emergency declaration last week, and it was ratified by the full board on Tuesday.
