Across the country, we’ve seen how quickly winter storms and flooding can impact communities. Even during dry years, sudden downpours or back-to-back storms can overwhelm creeks and cause severe flooding.
Valley Water works year-round to reduce flood risks and respond to emergencies, but preparation starts with each of us. One of the most important steps you can take is signing up for emergency alerts at AlertSCC.com. These alerts provide real-time updates during emergencies and give you time to act. Visit valleywater.org/floodready for an easy sign-up link.
Are you unsure if your property is in a high-risk flood area? Valleywater.org/floodready offers an easy portal to check your flood risk and explore resources to help you prepare.
We also encourage you to use our interactive map at valleywater.org/floodready to locate your nearest free sandbag distribution center before storms arrive. Sandbags can help protect your home or business from flood damage.
Let’s stay informed, take simple steps now, and be flood safe together.
