San Benito County Flood and Storm Response
This winter season San Benito County saw storms and flooding impact our community in ways we haven’t seen in years. With over 18 inches of rainfall to date, nearing close to the 22 inches recorded in 2017, San Benito County experienced disastrous weather that caused evacuations, road closures, levee breaches, damaged roads and properties to hundreds in this county. It was without question San Benito County needed help. The Community Foundation began working immediately to help flood victims from the January 9th storm, when the San Benito Disaster Recovery Fund was opened and dedicated to providing relief to those in the county affected by local disasters.
