Notes

Scanned image PDF from the County's order archive; the text was not machine-readable. Santa Clara was the first county in the nation to issue a shelter order (with the other six jurisdictions).

Retrieval note

File is the authority's own PDF; content graded secondary because the scan was not read. Operative text is the coordinated Bay Area text.
