__SALUTATION__
Last week, San Diego County experienced record-breaking rain and flooding, and I am so grateful for the swift response from local officials in #AD77.
As we brace for more rain coming today and tomorrow, I wanted to share some crucial storm preparation and recovery resources that are available to residents throughout the county.
On my website, a77.asmdc.org, under the tab "Flood Recovery Resources," you can browse resources including emergency alerts, damage reporting, and more.
Cheers,
Assemblymember Tasha Boerner
Assemblymember, 77th District
P.S. My office is available every day to talk with you about your concerns or help connect you with resources. You can reach us at (858) 481-7704 or Assemblymember.Boerner@assembly.ca.gov.
FREE SANDBAGS
Attention residents of #AD77! With the rain coming in tomorrow, it is important to be prepared. Sandbags are a good way to keep your home and belongings safe from flooding, and many cities have sandbags available for residents at no cost. If you are worried about potential flooding, you can pick up free sandbags at any of these locations!
