Heavy rain can quickly turn into safety hazards around your property. Standing water, clogged drainage, and debris buildup can contribute to flooding and create risks for you and your neighbors.

Staying proactive during wet weather helps protect your home, your neighbors, and our community. Make sure to:
✔ Clear debris from gutters and drainage areas
✔ Check that trash bins are secured
✔ Avoid placing anything in the street that could block water flow

If you see flooding, illegal dumping, or blocked drainage near you, report it through 311.
