Shasta County, California – In response to a series of powerful storms that have battered the region since early February 2025, Shasta County officials are actively assessing widespread damage to roads, properties, and infrastructure. As floodwaters start to recede, the extent of the destruction is becoming increasingly apparent.
On February 5, 2025, Shasta County Sheriff Michael Johnson declared a local state of emergency, a decision ratified by the Shasta County Board of Supervisors on February 11, 2025. This state of emergency remains in effect, facilitating the mobilization of resources and support for affected areas.
The Shasta County Office of Emergency Services is spearheading efforts to compile a detailed record of significant damage to both private properties and businesses. This comprehensive documentation is crucial for potentially qualifying Shasta County for state-level reimbursement for repairs and recovery efforts.
Residents and business owners who have suffered substantial damage from the storms are urged to report their losses to the county. The information gathered will aid in the damage assessment process. Affected individuals can contribute by contacting the Shasta County Office of Emergency Services.
To report damage, individuals should provide the following information: name, type of property (residential or business), address, contact information, photos of the damage, and a brief description of the damage. Reports can be submitted by calling (530) 245-6095 or emailing dwarren@shastacounty.gov. The deadline for submitting damage reports is February 28, 2025.
