Last week, hundreds of San Diego residents, businesses,
and infrastructure were severely damaged by storms.
This week, another round of heavy rain is going to compound an already fragile area that was hard hit. Tens of millions of dollars' worth of damage was experienced in mostly South and Southeast San Diego neighborhoods. Now, as clean-up had begun, residents are scrambling for sandbags and seeking higher ground for their family’s protection. The governor has declared a State of Emergency for several counties, including San Diego.
Victims lost all their possessions, small businesses were destroyed, and insurance is not providing any reimbursement; we anticipate the crisis will grow in the coming days. Flash floods are still a risk, and there is no escaping the torrential rains.
We want to share some organizations that are already involved with the cleanup efforts, helping residents, and providing services to those affected. We will update this list as needs become clearer.
Our thoughts go out to all of our neighbors.
