Mountain residents flocked to County-operated Local Assistance Centers in Crestline and Running Springs today to get help with insurance claims, rebuilding permits, taxes, and a host of other challenges created by the historic late February-early March blizzard.
The County is operating LACs today and tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Charles Hoffman Elementary School in Running Springs and Valley of Enchantment Elementary School in Crestline to connect mountain residents with a variety of essential County, state, and private sector resources.
The County will operate a second LAC in Wrightwood with dates and a location to be announced. The County had planned to operate the Wrightwood LAC on March 28 and 29 but postponed it due to a predicted storm. Watch future editions of this newsletter or check the County's social media platforms or the County's Snow Information website for updates.
Services available at the LACs include building & safety, insurance information, assistance for seniors, public health, tax and property resources, help for veterans, snow removal and reimbursement, advice on hiring contractors, behavioral health, help for small businesses, transitional assistance, employment assistance, legal services, general disaster aid, and more.
The County will provide food distribution at each of the LACs for as long as supplies last.
