Ahead of another major storm expected to hit
our region today, we have gathered a list of tips from Sacramento city officials
to help prepare for the coming weather:
- If possible, avoid driving. If you have to drive, be vigilant for tree limbs or other debris.
- Secure loose items around the exterior of your home, like lawn furniture.
- Use a rake or broom to help keep storm drains and gutters clear.
- Call 311 to report flooding or hazards like fallen trees, and report power outages to SMUD at 888-456-7683.
- Keep pets inside, and take them out on a leash if necessary.
The inclement weather this week is due to an atmospheric river — flowing columns of condensed water vapor that produce rain and snow. If your home suffers flood damage as a result of the storm, be sure to check out our flood recovery guide .
