Localized Flood
Response
Heavy rains resulted in significant localized flooding in numerous locations throughout Folsom on Thursday, March 22. Multiple roads were closed, motorists were rescued from vehicles, debris was removed from the roadways, and crews worked to restore traffic signal outages caused by the intense rain event.
Many City of Folsom departments were involved with the emergency storm response, including staff from Police, Fire, Public Works, Parks & Recreation, and Environmental and Water Resources, plus CAPS and CERTS volunteers. Help was also provided by Sacramento County. Crews from Goodfellow Top Grade Construction set aside their infrastructure and site improvement work at the Folsom Ranch site in order to provide assistance to the City, helping to clear the area on East Bidwell Street at Montrose Drive after flood waters had subsided Thursday morning.
"It was not so much the water level that was amazing to me, but the level of bravery, service, compassion, and effort being expended by each and every member of the City team -- directing traffic around hazards, removing debris from the roadway, and wading from car to car to help people out of their flooded and stalled cars," said City Manager Evert Palmer, "I could not be more proud of how we come together as a community to handle situations such as these, with City staff, county staff, volunteers, and our friends from Goodfellow Top Grade Construction working together to provide assistance."
