San Bernardino County Public Works is ready to respond to all potential storm impacts, whether it brings heavy rain, mud and debris flows, or snow. Crews have pre-staged equipment across all county yards and coordinated with the National Weather Service to ensure a rapid response. The county’s 86 real-time monitoring cameras track storm flows and assess risks throughout the region.
In advance of the storm, Public Works has cleared vegetation, sediment and debris from basins, channels and storm drains, especially in areas affected by early fall storms that significantly impacted Forest Falls and Oak Glen, to ensure flood control systems operate at full capacity.
Snowplow operations will begin once snow reaches two inches, with primary roads cleared first to maintain emergency access. Residents are encouraged to:
- Stay informed through the county’s storm information webpage.
- Follow the county’s social media @sbcounty and the National Weather Service office in San Diego.
- Sign up for the Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS) alerts.
- Pick up sandbags, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis at County Fire stations. Visit sbcfire.org/sandbags for more information.
