Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Communications
The recent winter storm systems experienced over the past week brought an unprecedented amount of rain to Long Beach and the region. Los Angeles County is in the process of assessing damage to infrastructure and private properties countywide, as well as supporting residents with their individual recovery efforts. To help determine the impacts of the storms, Los Angeles County has established a dedicated Winter Storm Recovery webpage and survey, available at recovery.lacounty.gov, to gather basic damage information from residents and businesses.
Depending on the total losses in the region, residents and businesses may be eligible for several types of financial and direct assistance including low-interest, long-term disaster assistance loans. Even if damages are manageable or are covered by insurance, completing the survey will help other residents in the region.
Long Beach residents and businesses that experienced damage as a result of the recent winter storms are encouraged to complete the County’s Damage Assessment Survey, available online in English and Spanish. The survey is intended for information gathering purposes and will be used to determine eligibility based on the total amount of damages countywide. The survey collects basic damage information and is not an application for assistance.
The damage assessment survey is made available to residents and businesses due to the recent storm series rising to a certain level that Governor Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency on February 4, 2024, for eight counties, including Los Angeles. The County of Los Angeles also proclaimed a State of Emergency on behalf of the region.
