By 909PROBATE · Published · AI-assisted, source-linked summary

An October 29 county announcement points residents to flooding, sandbag, emergency-alert and evacuation resources before winter storms.

San Bernardino County’s Office of Emergency Services announced a new storm-preparedness webpage on October 29, 2026. The county says the resource covers flooding, debris flows, sandbag availability, emergency alerts and evacuation planning.

The announcement also directs residents to the Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS) and Ready SB County app. The linked preparedness page will be updated as information becomes available. Residents can start at prepare.sbcounty.gov/elnino/ and check current guidance for their location.

What this means locally

Local interpretation: Owners and families across the 909 area can use this resource to review alerts and household plans before a storm. Executors, trustees and relatives caring for an unoccupied home can identify who will receive alerts, check the property and arrange any needed work through independent professionals. Confirm sandbag locations and availability before traveling. The announcement is a preparedness resource, rather than a forecast for a particular property.
