MARIPOSA COUNTY, Calif. — Residents recovering from wildfires or severe winter storms can consult Mariposa County’s official recovery portal, which brings together local resources and contact information for people affected by disasters.

Where to find county information

The county maintains Mariposa County Recovers as a central resource site. It provides links for winter storm information, Oak Fire resources and guidance for returning after a fire. Different programs may have eligibility rules or application deadlines, so residents should verify whether assistance is still available rather than relying on an older notice or forwarded social-media message.

People who cannot find the needed information on the website can contact the county at 209-966-3222 or info@mariposacounty.org. Residents preparing to return to damaged property should check official safety notices and any instructions about utilities, road access or debris.

Fraud risks after emergencies

The recovery page specifically warns that scams and identity theft can increase after disasters. Be cautious about unexpected callers promising guaranteed grants, demanding immediate fees or asking for sensitive identifying information without a verifiable agency connection. The county directs suspected scam victims to the Mariposa County Sheriff’s Office at 209-966-3615.

This portal is intended as a standing reference, not a declaration that any particular emergency is currently underway. During an active incident, follow emergency officials and county alert channels for up-to-date instructions.
