An atmospheric river currently passing through San Bernardino County is expected to be the strongest storm the region has seen since March of last year. The heaviest rain is expected to fall today, Thursday, Feb. 13, with showers continuing into Friday.
The National Weather Service (NWS) warns the storm could produce localized flooding, which could pose a threat to those living downstream of the areas burned by September’s Line and Bridge wildfires. The NWS does not expect significant snowfall from this storm.
San Bernardino County emergency responders are working around the clock, monitoring the rainfall and the effect it is having on our roads and scorched watersheds, and are poised to take action if the need arises. K-rail has been placed at strategic locations in Highland, Wrightwood and the Mt. Baldy area to repel flooding and mudslides.
Residents may receive and are urged to heed evacuation warnings and orders to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.
Preparedness is a shared responsibility, and the strongest link in the disaster-ready chain are county residents and the measures they take to prepare. San Bernardino County created Preparedness Starts Here, a campaign and website giving residents the tips and tools they need to prepare for and survive floods and mudslides, wildfires, earthquakes, extreme cold, extreme heat, power outages and more.
Visit the Preparedness Starts Here webpage, containing links to the current storm incident page, as well as other disaster information and resources.
Residents are also urged to sign up for emergency phone and text alerts at bit.ly/40UDrRU.
