Hello again @joannaj101!
Great research, and great callout. Orange County is covered under the IRS/CA disaster relief for 2022, so you can make all three quarterly payments on or by 10/16/23* without incurring a penalty. If you reside in Orange County, you shouldn't have to do anything besides actually making the payments by the extended October deadline to qualify for the exemption from the penalty. This applies to both IRS and CA estimated tax payments.
Here is an IRS release that does have Orange County listed: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-provides-tax-relief-for-victims-of-severe-winter-storms-flooding-la...
*"Affected taxpayers that have an estimated income tax payment originally due on or after March 9, 2023, and before Oct. 16, 2023, are postponed through Oct. 16, 2023, will not be subject to penalties for failure to pay estimated tax installments as long as such payments are paid on or before Oct. 16, 2023."
