April 10, 2026 (Rancho San Diego) — We've all been there: you’re driving through somewhere in San Diego County and run over a jagged pothole, spot a flooded culvert or keep seeing the same abandoned vehicle on a street corner.... but the thought of trying to find the right County department to call and report what you see is overwhelming.
 
The County of San Diego has been working to change that narrative with its "Tell Us Now!" app for mobile phones.
 
The app has been helping people connect to County services since it first launched in 2017, but to help more residents navigate the digital tool, the office of Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe is hosting a community meeting focused on using the app on Monday, Apreil 13 at the Casa de Oro Library.
 
The event, from 10 a.m. to noon at the library at 9805 Campo Road in Spring Valley, aims to turn residents into neighborhood advocates, showing exactly how a single photo can spark a government response.
