The county's Office of Emergency Services wants residents to be aware that this storm is reminiscent of the 2022-23 flood, but wants to reassure them that it's still different, not like the major one that flooded out mobile home communities, and they're looking at about 4-6 inches of rain across the span of a week.
They also want people to be aware that heavy rain and gusty winds can lead to dangerous driving conditions and localized roadway flooding and ponding. Xiong encourages the community to drive slowly when those conditions arise and plan to leave earlier.
You can keep your family prepared with three steps, Xiong said, by signing up for San Joaquin ready alerts on sjready.org or by texting sjstorms to 888777, making plans, and building emergency kits. More information on these steps is on their website.
The Manufactured Home Replacement and Elevation (MHRE) Program provides critical support to community members impacted by the December 2022 through early January 2023 floods. The program offers grants to help eligible mobile homeowners in San Joaquin County replace and elevate manufactured or mobile home units that were damaged or destroyed...
"They can apply through Self-Help Enterprises. They are the subrecipient through that grant," Xiong said.
The Office of Emergency Services' (OES) operations are run out of the Robert J. Cabral Agricultural Center.
"At the heart of OES is community service," Xiong said. "You are going to find that everyone in this office truly cares about the community because, one, we all, most of us, are from this community. So, we want to make sure that they're safe and safety is always going to be our top priority and making sure that they have those emergency resources and services should the need arise…it's so important that we focus on our community, making sure messaging is out, that the community is aware of what is coming their way."
