Bermuda Dunes
Biohazard and crime scene cleanup in Bermuda Dunes
Bermuda Dunes is not a city, and that changes who you deal with. The cleanup side works as it does anywhere: phone, and you are put in touch with an independent company.

County, not city
Bermuda Dunes is unincorporated. There is no city hall and no city police; Riverside County provides the services. The Sheriff's Thermal Station names Bermuda Dunes among the communities it covers, so the officers at your door will be sheriff's deputies. Ring the station on (760) 863-8990, or the Sheriff's non-emergency dispatch on (951) 776-1099 out of hours.
It is easy to ring the wrong office, because Bermuda Dunes shares the 92203 ZIP code with part of Indio, and some addresses are written as Indio. If the property is in Bermuda Dunes, the Indio Police Department is not the agency to ask about a release.
Garages, patios and driveways
Not everything happens indoors. A garage, a workshop, a patio or a car on the drive is cleaned on the same principles as a bedroom, but the materials behave differently. Bare concrete is porous and takes fluid in. Cardboard boxes and stored fabric on a garage floor soak it up. Outdoors, sun and heat dry things quickly without making them clean.
Tell the company what the surface is, and whether anything was hosed down. Water spreads the problem into expansion joints and drains, and it helps them to know.
After a death here
The Riverside County Sheriff-Coroner is the coroner for Bermuda Dunes as for the cities around it, and its desert office is on Oasis Street in Indio, (760) 863-8311. The form for releasing a relative to a funeral home, and the ninety-day limit on belongings, are explained in after a death at home.
Ready when the home has been handed back
There is no rush to phone tonight. Once police or the coroner have released the property, a single call reaches a cleanup company that works in Indio and the neighboring desert cities.
