Six homes have been red-tagged and two others have received yellow tags as Dana Point officials Tuesday monitor the aftermath of heavy rains caused by Hurricane Marie this weekend.
The high tides and swells from the hurricane hammered homes in the Capistrano Bay District community on Beach Road.
Officials are bracing for another high tide Tuesday night. City officials are on site inspecting the damage and advising residents when they need to leave their homes.
Coastal Commission staff, who are responsible for issuing Emergency Coastal Development Permits, are working overtime to help residents get services, officials said.
Officials are using boulders as a layer of protection for the wave-whipped homes.
Orange County Board Vice Chair Katrina Foley visited the residents Tuesday afternoon to assess the damage and help provide services.
