Are You Ready for Storm Season?

Before Mother Nature brings on the rain we so desperately need, be sure you're prepared. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Help keep storm drains free of leaves and debris during rains, and put leaves and other yard debris in your Organics container (Green Cart). The City will provide extra leaf sweeps as needed during the fall. 
• If your property has a history of flooding, purchase sand and sandbags at a hardware or home improvement store—before the storm hits. Be prepared for the worst, as only a limited number of sandbags may be available at City's Corporation Yard in anticipation of heavy rainfall and severe, widespread flooding. 
• Report storm-related hazards to the City or your utility provider. Contact the City about flooding, high creek levels, fallen trees or limbs, clogged storm drains or culverts, traffic signals or street lights out, street signs down, or downed power lines.
• Most importantly, stay away from downed or sagging power lines, streetlights, or traffic signals, and any debris that might be entangled with them—they could be deadly!

Report roadway hazards to 3005, downed power lines to SMUD or by calling 911.

Utility agencies have personnel to handle emergency calls 24 hours a day.

Report hazards to your utility provider or by calling 911.
