Monterey County Winter Storm Resources

As we approach the winter storm season, the County of Monterey is committed to ensuring our residents and organizations have access to vital information and resources to stay safe and prepared. To this end, we’ve developed a comprehensive set of user-friendly resources, available in both English and Spanish, to meet the diverse needs of our community.

These resources are readily accessible through:

The resources include critical information on:

Contacts for emergency assistance

And much more!

We need your help to ensure this information reaches as many individuals and organizations as possible. By sharing these resources through your networks—whether via newsletters, social media, or community events—you can help us keep our community informed and safe.

Together, we can make sure everyone in Monterey County is prepared for the season ahead.

Thank you for your partnership and dedication to our community. Should you need any additional materials or support in sharing this information, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Ed Note: I have added all these links to the sticky post (the first post always) above for the winter. They will be removed when the storm season is over.
