Dear Businesses & Neighbors,
We're not waiting for the rain to start preparing San Diego for the potential impacts of El Niño.
One important part of that planning is protecting our coastline. That’s why the City’s Park and Recreation Department began its annual sand berm installation a month earlier than usual this year.
This is where City crews use heavy equipment to move sand toward the back of our beaches, creating berms that help protect coastal communities from higher tides, erosion and flooding. These berms are especially important during king tides and major storms, when water levels can rise significantly.
This is just one part of our broader effort to prepare San Diego for El Niño. Over the coming weeks, my office will continue sharing information and resources with you to help you get yourself, your family, and your home ready.
It’s important to prepare now. Don’t delay buying sandbags, making an emergency kit and planning your evacuation routes.
Stay ready, San Diego!
Please reach out to the OB MainStreet Association if you have specific concerns regarding Ocean Beach.
