Residents in San Francisco were still scrambling to get sandbags for flood mitigation early Wednesday evening, just as the rain from the atmospheric river storm was intensifying.
Meanwhile, in response to the stormy forecast and flood warnings in the region, San Francisco opened emergency beds for unhoused residents seeking shelter for the next week and a half.
Within their system, HSH has repurposed shelter beds, some used for their winter interfaith shelter system, to allow people to walk up to services on a first-come, first-served basis at four locations. "We know that the rain is going to be with us for a while, and it's going to be worse in the next couple of days," McSpadden said at a news conference Tuesday.
Alongside Urban Alchemy and Episcopal Community Services, the city will also host an emergency pop-up shelter from noon Wednesday through 10 a.m. Friday at the County Fair Building at 1199 Ninth Ave.
