The remnants of Hurricane Dolores created record rainfall in San Diego County taking residents by surprise over the weekend. If your property or small business sustained damage from the weekend’s heavy rains and flooding, the County would like your help to estimate rain damages in our region.
The County Office of Emergency Services is asking storm-affected residents to complete a short damage survey form that will assist the County in collecting damage information and associated costs from last weekend’s heavy rains and flooding.
The information gathered from the surveys will be used to estimate total damages countywide and determine if enough damage occurred to qualify the region for disaster assistance, such as low interest disaster loans from the Small Business Administration for those who are uninsured or underinsured.
Completing the form does not guarantee the property owner will be eligible to receive disaster assistance. For additional information, visit sdcountyrecovery.com or email oes@sdcounty.ca.gov.
If your property was damaged by the storm and you need immediate assistance, please contact the following agencies:
- American Red Cross: 858-414-8051
- Salvation Army: 619-231-6000
- Other local services may be available through 2-1-1 San Diego.
