A local historian, Chris Wray, has produced a very interesting series of videos on the historic backcountry of San Diego County. Topics include US 80, wagon roads, and mining. He has also written a few books on the topics, which are linked on his YouTube channel. I highly recommend a visit.

Emergency Alert Systems
Fires, floods, earthquakes, and more are just a part of life in Southern California. Most of the County governments, and even cities, have a “Reverse 911” or “Alert System” for residents. You can sign up for these and be alerted to various things like evacuation orders and pending flood dangers.
