Support For Our Los Angeles County Neighbors

On many unfortunate occasions, the people of San Bernardino County have suffered the terror and loss of widespread disaster. In times of wildfire, earthquake, flood, terrorist attack, and blizzard, San Bernardino County has stood strong, but always with the support of our neighbors near and far.

 

During the current high-wind event, thousands of our residents remain without electrical service and many properties have endured damage from strong gusts. However, this time, San Bernardino County has so far been spared the worst. Not so for our Southern California brothers and sisters in Los Angeles County.

 

As of this writing, 10 lives have been lost and more than 9,000 structures have been damaged or destroyed by several wind-driven wildfires to our west, with the grim toll expected to rise.

 

In our times of need, San Bernardino County has felt comfort from those on the other sides of our county line. Today, San Bernardino County stands with Los Angeles County and sends our thoughts and prayers to those who have suffered fear and loss.

 

San Bernardino County firefighting resources are on the front lines in Los Angeles County, but there are ways all of us can support those in need. Los Angeles County emergency response and recovery officials are urging donations to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund, https://www.calfund.org/.

 

San Bernardino County also stands with our residents who are coping with the high winds and loss of power. Safety and resource information is available at San Bernardino County’s Extreme Wind Event website, https://oes.sbcounty.gov/extreme-wind-event/.

 

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors and the County Government Team is here to support our residents and our neighbors. sbcounty.gov

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment. A basket of fresh produce can represent a week's worth of meals, the results of a successful backyard harvest or an unexpected bargain at the grocery store. Yet without proper storage, even the freshest fruits and vegetables can spoil before a family has an opportunity to use them.

An October announcement highlights how investigative technology and cooperation among law enforcement agencies can help solve crimes affecting Grand Terrace neighborhoods. For residents of Grand Terrace, home is more than an address. It is where families gather, children grow up and neighbors build relationships over many years. When a residential burglary occurs, the effects can extend beyond the property taken or damage caused. A crime inside someone's home can undermine the sense of security that makes a neighborhood feel safe.

The rumble of a commercial truck passing through a city can represent two very different things. For a business awaiting a delivery, it may signal the arrival of essential supplies. For residents living near a busy roadway, it may raise concerns about traffic, noise and safety. In Grand Terrace, finding a reasonable balance between those interests is at the center of an ongoing transportation planning effort.

A city is often judged by what residents experience every day: the condition of its streets, the reliability of public services, the availability of recreational programs and the ease of obtaining information from local government. Behind those everyday experiences are departments and employees whose work rarely attracts national attention.
