A body washed ashore around noontime on Friday at San Gregorio Beach that officials say may be Florentino Suan Pasco Jr., the Stockton man who disappeared into the surf last week at Tunitas Creek Beach.Â
San Mateo County Sheriff s Office spokesperson Lt. Eamonn Allen said detectives are on their way to the scene to identify the body, a male in his 30s, whose description is consistent with Pasco s identity.Â
Pasco was reported missing from his group in the early morning on June 24. Sheriff s deputies began a search for the man, who his friends believed went into the water, but they were unable to find him. The San Mateo County Harbor District and a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter aided in the search, which was called off that afternoon.
Last weekâs mudslide evacuation marked the first-ever activation of the Community Emergency Response Team as part of a new collaboration between the volunteer group and the San Mateo Countyâs Emergency Operations Center.Â
During the evacuation warning issued on Jan. 25, CERT volunteers from across the Coastside provided on-the-ground communication for residents in the southern part of San Mateo County, the same area evacuated last summer during the August CZU Lightning Complex fires.Â
Volunteers knocked on doors, posted flyers about the areaâs mudslide risk and radioed in updates that worked their way up to the countyâs emergency operations center in Redwood City.Â
