Currently the department and area residents are loading up tractor-trailers with a variety of supplies including food, water, canned goods, baby formula generators and appliances.
Sheriff Ken Mascara said the semis will be sent north on Tuesday to be distributed to victims.
Members of the community can drop off donations until Monday at the following locations:
