California Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency in San Diego County on Tuesday to aid recovery efforts following massive flooding from a winter storm. The proclamation directed the state Office of Emergency Services to provide assistance to local governments in San Diego and Ventura counties, both of whom were devastated by the storm. According to the order, this includes opening up fairgrounds to shelter displaced residents, short-term changes to provide unemployment benefits for impacted residents, and the temporary waiving of fees to replace records like driver’s licenses and birth certificates. The proclamation follows similar declarations by elected officials in San Diego County Monday evening due to the extreme flash flooding. First responders had to rescue hundreds of people stranded in their homes and cars throughout the day on Monday, as floodwaters surged to multiple feet in height in some places. Areas of southeastern San Diego, South Bay and near the Tijuana River Valley were hit particularly hard by the storm, with nearly four inches of rain falling in those areas within a matter of hours as the storm’s core moved directly overhead.
