Description
San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria restored an evacuation warning in a press briefing Sunday evening for San Diego communities in flood-prone and low-lying areas ahead of the storm expected to hit Monday. This includes neighborhoods such as: Southcrest, Mountain View, Encanto, Rolando and other areas of Southeast San Diego that were impacted by the January 22 storm.
While the evacuation warning is voluntary, Gloria said if an evacuation order is issued, law enforcement would go door-to-door to inform residents. The warning is designed to have residents make evacuation preparations now should it become necessary, Gloria said.
"If you are able, we encourage people living in these flood-prone, low-lying areas to seek alternative accommodations to ride out the storm," Gloria said Sunday.
The city of San Diego has a temporary evacuation shelter at the Municipal Gym in Balboa Park that will stay open throughout the week. Residents under the evacuation warning can request a ride to the shelter at no cost from the United Taxi Workers. To schedule a ride, call 619-280-4444 or download the Ride United (Passenger) app on your phone.
