During heavy rainfall, you can help keep your family and community safe (and dry!).
Here's what you can do to help prevent flooding:
Do not block storm drains
- Locate the storm drain grate on your street and help us keep it clear.
- Please help keep sidewalks, gutters, drains, and storm drain grates clear of leaves to prevent storm drains from clogging and flooding.
- Do not rake leaves onto streets and do not push leaves into drains.
