San Diego offering rain preparation tips following Jan. 22 storm

With more rain in

the forecast

through the end of the week, the city and county are

providing resources

and encouraging San Diegans to take

precautions

.

To help curb potential flooding, residents can pick up

free sandbags

at various locations. If you notice a clogged or blocked storm drain, contact a dispatcher at the city’s

Street Division

. If you’re driving during this week’s storm, be aware of storm-related

road closures

and do not drive through flood waters — they could be deeper than they appear.

Continue using the

Get It Done

app for non-urgent issues, including:

  • Potholes and road damage that aren’t dangerous
  • Bulky items in the public right of way
  • Damaged or lost trash bins

The county urges residents and business owners to complete its

voluntary survey

to assess damage from the storm on Jan. 22, 2024. The Spring Valley Library has also opened an

assistance center

to help locals

impacted by flooding

find resources.
