Pond residents brace for heavy rainfall and possible flooding, say no government help has come

Three years after floodwaters devastated the small Kern County community, neighbors say local, county and state officials still haven’t answered their calls for help. Residents of the small community of Pond, California, are preparing for heavy rainfall and possible flooding, three years after a devastating flood that hit the small town three years ago, without any help from local, county, or state government. Residents say they feel left helpless again as they prepare for another threat of heavy rain and are doing so without assistance from the government. In 2023, volunteers from out of state helped residents clean up and rebuild their homes, but this time, they have asked for help from the local, state, local, and local government for help preparing for the upcoming rain. Residents believe that Poso Creek, which caused the flooding, is unincorporated and no effort has been made to clean up the area or the community. No official from the District 4 county supervisor, whose jurisdiction includes Pond, has responded to the question.
