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 and businesses who experienced flooding damage during Monday’s storm can report the damage through an online survey.

Completing the voluntary form will assist the County of San Diego with collecting damage information related to the storm.

The survey will only be used to gather information to determine if the County should request 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.

The County proclaimed a local emergency Monday since federal and state assistance may be needed due to flooding damage from the storm.

Photos submitted through the survey should clearly show the flooding impact being reported, such as a water line. See the picture below for an example.
