MULTIPLE STORMS OVER THE NEXT WEEK
The National Weather Service (NWS) predicts heavy rains for our area through Saturday evening, some clear skies on Sunday, and then a return to wet rainy weather through Thursday 1/5/23. This includes a Flood Watch beginning 10:00 pm Friday 12/30 through 10:00 pm Saturday 12/31. The Department of Public Health PHEPR will continue to monitor the situation at Level Green of our Flood Response Annex. This means DPH PHEPR will be monitoring weather conditions closely and sharing how residents can stay safer. If the conditions worsen, we will send another alert to provide additional information, including any change in our response status.
Street Flooding: For flooding caused by storm drains, catch basins, etc., please call 311 or the 24/7 SFPW radio room at 415 695-2134, and PUC or SFPW crew will be dispatched to your location to clear storm drains. If you are aware of regular flooding at the certain storm drains, it is recommended to call ahead if possible, as crews may be busier than usual during this time.
