On Wednesday, Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency in 21 counties across the state, adding to the list of 13 initial counties that were already proclaimed at the beginning of March.
A release from Newsom's office said that if the presidential emergency declaration was approved, it would enable impacted counties to immediately access direct federal assistance to help protect public safety and property.
Generators, road clearance equipment and potential sheltering are some of the benefits of direct federal assistance.
At least two people have died from recent storms and more than 9,400 people are under evacuation orders, officials said Friday.
Nancy Ward, the director of the governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), said state leaders may need to request another Major Disaster Declaration from the president, noting she expects the damage from these latest storms to exceed US$70 million.
