Take a look at how the County of San Diego is prepared to handle our upcoming storms in the unincorporated areas. Crews are ready to respond with heavy equipment, asphalt for potholes and fiber rolls to prevent erosion that can disrupt roads in the unincorporated areas.

County crews actually work all year round to inspect and clear culverts and inlets that deflect water from roads, trim trees and sweep roads. With the expected rains, they are also prepared to respond to the weather, including providing 24-hour coverage as needed through the days and nights. They also have snowplows ready to deploy at the County’s higher elevations, even though current weather forecasts do not expect temperatures to drop to snow-inducing levels.
