SAN DIEGO, CA (January 24, 2024) — Today, Rep. Juan Vargas (CA-52), issued the following statement:

“I witnessed the extensive damage caused by the recent storm and since only 8,128 out of 1.15 million households in San Diego County have flood insurance, many in the 52nd Congressional District could face significant challenges in covering damages,” said Rep. Vargas. “We need to use all available tools to respond to this emergency, and that’s why my office has been communicating with FEMA and the White House on the potential for federal assistance for affected residents.”
