Storm Recovery Resources

Storm and Recovery Information

This Storm Recovery Resources landing page was established by the San Bernardino County Office of Emergency Services to serve as a centralized hub for recovery information and assistance following the recent storms.

San Bernardino County experienced significant storm impacts from December 23-26, including flooding, debris flows, and infrastructure damage. While the storm system has passed, County departments and partner agencies continue recovery operations in impacted communities.

Residents can use this page to access available recovery assistance, local resources, safety guidance, and official updates as recovery efforts continue.
