$12.6M in Aid Delivered to San Diego County Communities

To aid recovery efforts in San Diego County following the January storms, FEMA, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and local partners continue to work together to bring relief to affected communities.

In just three weeks since Gov. Gavin Newsom secured a Major Disaster Declaration from President Joseph R. Biden, more than $12.6 million has been dispersed to help residents repair damage to their homes and property.

In addition to needed repairs, FEMA-provided disaster assistance funds are available to help with temporary lodging and rental assistance as affected survivors work on getting their homes fixed.

Individuals, families and business owners in San Diego County covered in the Presidential Major Disaster Declaration who sustained losses currently have until April 19 to apply for disaster assistance. To apply call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
