Are You Flood Ready?
There are over 1,100 miles of levees protecting the California Delta. No matter how well built the levee, no levee is flood-proof. Know as much as you can about the threat of flood – your knowledge will be crucial to your safety and the safety of those you care about. Flooding in the Delta can happen at any time, not just during the rainy season – it can even occur during times of drought! By planning ahead, you can help protect your family and neighbors, reduce damage to your property, and be better prepared to recover from a flood emergency in your area. This website will help you take the steps you need to be aware, be prepared, and take action in the event of a flood.
It is crucial that all Delta residents are aware of and prepared for the possibility of a flood event in their area. In a few easy steps, find out if your home or business is located in a flood zone and understand how alert systems work.
