Liberty Dental Plan Creates a Dedicated Toll-Free Number for the State of Emergency Proclamation for the Late December 2025 Storms Issued on April 17, 2026

04/17/2026

On April 17, 2026, Governor Newsom issued a State of Emergency Proclamation for the Late December 2025 Storms, affecting Mendocino, Sonoma, and Ventura Counties. In late December 2025, a series of strong storms hit California and caused a State of Emergency in six counties. The storms brought heavy rain, mountain snow, and strong winds from December 16 through December 26. They also damaged highways in Mendocino, Sonoma, and Ventura Counties and caused flooding, mudslides, and a higher risk of debris flows in Ventura County. As of this date, Liberty Dental Plan (Liberty) has not been impacted by this incident. The Plan does not expect to have any issues with our regular day to day operations. We will continue to be available to members. This includes after hours and on the weekend. We are sharing our availability to potentially impacted enrollees through this press release and our website.

Liberty has taken steps to make sure that our members' oral health care needs are met through a dedicated toll-free number to our call center is available to all members. This includes 24/7 call availability to refer members to a dentist. Contact Member Services toll-free at 877-864-7811.

This policy applies in the event of any state of emergency declared by the governor and health emergencies declared by the State Public Health Officer. Liberty will comply with guidance issued by the Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) related to the emergency.
