Liberty Dental Plan creates a dedicated toll-free number following state of emergency proclamation for August 2026 Monsoon impacting Imperial County Issued on November 10, 2026
On November 10, 2026, Governor Newsom issued a state of emergency proclamation for the August 2026 Monsoon. On Wednesday, the 12th of August 2026, a big storm hit Imperial County. People are calling it the August 2026 monsoon. The storm brought strong winds, heavy rain, and flash floods across the county. It damaged power lines and other important systems run by the Imperial Irrigation District. The storm hurt 17 power stations and cut off electricity for thousands of homes and businesses, which put people's lives and safety at risk. Because of this, the storm created serious danger to people and property. The damage is too big for any one local government to handle alone, so nearby regions must work together to help. 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 on 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.
