Below is important information for residents of the Museum Flood Area and those who experienced monsoonal flooding:
SHELTER IN PLACE: During flood events, residents should shelter in place. Have a Stay Kit ready.
DEBRIS ON PROPERTY: If you have debris on your property, then you should move the debris to the street if you are able -- only when the water has stopped flowing. This will help County and City Public Works crews remove the debris with their heavy equipment.
PARKED CARS: If you live on one of the streets that has debris as a result of the flood, then please do not park your car on the streets.
