On Tuesday, June 2, county officials celebrated the grand opening of the Valley Communications Center, a state-of-the-art facility designed to strengthen emergency communications, enhance coordination among public safety agencies and support faster, more effective emergency response throughout the region. ⭐ 🚒
The approximately 75,000-square-foot facility will bring together the San Bernardino County Office of Emergency Services’ Emergency Operations Center, the Sheriff’s Department Valley Dispatch Center and Consolidated Fire Agencies (CONFIRE) dispatch operations. The Valley Communications Center will serve as a hub for daily emergency communications while supporting large-scale incident management efforts during wildfires, floods, earthquakes, severe storms and other major incidents.

Did you know San Bernardino County offers tools to help homeowners add accessory dwelling units? 🏡
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) are small, independent living spaces built on residential properties. They offer flexible housing options for families, renters and homeowners looking to add space or generate extra income.
To make the process easier, San Bernardino County offers pre-approved ADU plans, which can reduce design costs and speed up permit review.
To learn more, read the full story online at bit.ly/4g1b1ir.

This lighthearted video shows our new quadruped robot dog, meeting his new fellow employees at headquarters. It is always difficult being the new employee, but it’s not too tough if you can do neat tricks. Jokes aside, our partnership with @HawkRobo_ allows this high-tech tool to help augment our robotics program. This robot will be used for situational awareness and mapping inside buildings, to enhance firefighter safety whether the building is in normal use or if it is collapsed and we are searching for victims. This robot is smaller than most which allows it to get into tighter spaces. It can also carry air monitoring devices into hazardous materials incidents to check the atmosphere. The goal is safety to our personnel. We will also be using the robot at public education events and to help open the world of robotics to young students.

Monsoon season officially begins on June 15th and lasts until September 30th. The monsoonal pattern is driven by a seasonal wind reversal which brings moisture into the Desert Southwest.

ALT A slide titled "What is the Monsoon?" over an image of a dark, stormy sky and a desert landscape with a Joshua Tree. The text on the slide reads: "Monsoon Season runs from June 15th - September 30th," "Marks a seasonal wind reversal, allowing moisture to move into the Desert Southwest," and "The Monsoon brings common hazards such as lightning, damaging winds, dust storms, flash flooding, and intense heat." The NOAA and National Weather Service logos are in the bottom left corner, and the phrase "Respect the storm: Ready. Set. Monsoon" is in the bottom right corner.
