Did you know flooding conditions can occur very quickly?

Another video from Public Works Agency's "Preparing for El Niño" video series. This one talks about how flooding conditions can change very quickly.

Did you know floodwaters can be extremely dangerous?

How much rushing water does it take to knock you off your feet? How much to move your car? It's less than you might think.

Did you know wet roads can quickly turn to black ice?

Cold weather sometimes follows storms which can lead to icy conditions.

What should you do if you encounter a tree down in the roadway?

What should you do if you come upon a downed tree while driving? Here's your answer.

What should you do if you drive up to a mudslide?i

El Niño could bring more and stronger storms to the Bay Area. Unfortunately, that could mean more mudslides. What should you do if you encounter a mudslide while driving? This video has your answer.

Did you know it’s extremely important to obey the “Road Closed...

Always obey barricades and don’t attempt to move them or attempt to drive around them. They are there for your safety.

Did you know you can fight local flooding in front of your home?

You can fight localized flooding in your neighborhood by keeping a rake handy to remove leaves and other debris from the storms drains.

What should you do if you encounter a downed powerline?

Here's the next video in the "Preparing for El Niño" series produced by our Public Works Agency. #ACStormTips

What should you do if you encounter standing water?

Here's another video from our Public Works Agency's video series about El Niño. Don’t attempt to drive through standing water. It could be much deeper than it appears. Just 2’ of water can carry a car away. There can also be hazards like a washed out roadway underneath. Motorists should leave the area immediately. Make a mental note of where the standing water is located, and report details to the local authorities as soon as it is safe to do so.

Did you know it’s safer to drive on a major transportation cor...

It’s safer to drive on a major transportation corridor during a storm than it is on a rural road. Rural roads often have more incidents of mudslides, downed trees, and downed power lines. It may take a few extra minutes to use more heavily traveled major transportation corridors, such as freeways and highways, but your safety is worth the extra time.
