Updated Feb. 1, 2024: The damage assessment survey included in this article is now closed. If you need recovery information, please contact 2-1-1.
County residents in the unincorporated area whose vehicles were impacted by the Jan. 22 storm and flooding can have their vehicles recycled for free.
The vehicle abatement program offers free removal and recycling of storm-damaged vehicles. The program does not provide towing of stranded vehicles from one location to another.
If you have a storm-damaged vehicle and would like the County to recycle the vehicle at no cost to you, please contact Gerardo Vargas at 619-507-2129 or by email at Gerardo.Vargas@sdcounty.ca.gov.
If your vehicle was damaged during the storm and you are seeking repairs, contact your insurance provider to check your coverage.
Monday’s storm was the fourth wettest day recorded since 1850. The torrential downpours caused millions of dollars of damage, flooded streets and roadways, damaged hundreds of homes and created mudslides, erosion and more.

If your residence or business was damaged during the Jan. 22 storm, the County asks that you report the damage through a voluntary online survey. The survey will only be used to gather information to determine if the County is eligible for state and/or federal assistance.
Completing the form does not guarantee that you will be eligible to receive any disaster relief assistance. Filling out the survey is not a substitution for filing a claim with your insurance. You should check with your own insurance first to check for coverage.
The County urges all county residents to be prepared for emergencies. Register for AlertSanDiego.org and download the SD Emergency mobile app to receive emergency notifications, updates, and preparedness information, like a personal disaster plan and go-kit in case of evacuation.
