“A storm this widespread and this intense in the rim communities has never occurred,” Hernandez told the supervisors in a report on Tuesday morning. “The county did not have the size and scale of plows and other specialized snow removal equipment immediately on hand to quickly clear through the snow.”
“A lot of people are praising the county — and they should — and a lot of people are second-guessing a lot of things,” 4th District Supervisor Curt Hagman said, “but to respond to a natural disaster like the way our team did, it just makes us proud.”“In terms of doing what’s important — protecting human life — the response has been immediate,” Dicus said., according to the San Bernardino County Coroner’s Office. Eight other deaths are being investigated.
