Most standard homeowner’s and renter’s insurance policies do not cover flood damage. That means if your home or belongings are damaged by rising water, you could be left paying out of pocket. Flood insurance is a separate policy that can help cover the cost of damage to your belongings caused by flooding. Keep in mind that most flood insurance policies take about 30 days to go into effect, so don’t wait for a storm to sign up. Talk to your insurance agent today about getting covered before flood season.
La mayoría de los seguros de casa o de inquilinos no cubren daños por inundaciones. Eso significa que si su casa o pertenencias son dañadas por el agua, podría tener que pagar de su propio bolsillo. El seguro contra inundaciones es una póliza separada que puede ayudar a cubrir el costo de los daños causados por inundaciones. Tenga en cuenta que la mayoría de las pólizas de seguro contra inundaciones tardan unos 30 días en entrar en vigor, así que no espere a que llegue una tormenta para registrarse. Hable con su agente de seguros hoy sobre cómo obtener cobertura antes de la temporada de lluvias.

In an emergency, having a plan can make all the difference. Sit down with your family now and talk through what you would do if flooding hit your neighborhood. Know the higher ground near you — whether that’s a higher floor in your building or an elevated area in your neighborhood. Where would you go if you had to evacuate? What would you grab? Make sure everyone knows the plan, including your kids, and practice it so it feels natural. A plan made today could save valuable time when it matters most.
En una emergencia, tener un plan puede hacer toda la diferencia. Siéntese con su familia ahora y hablen sobre qué harían si las inundaciones llegaran a su vecindario. Conozca los lugares más altos cerca de usted, ya sea un piso más alto en su edificio o una zona elevada en su vecindario. ¿A dónde irían si tuvieran que evacuar? ¿Qué llevarían? Asegúrese de que todos conozcan el plan, incluyendo los niños, y practíquenlo para que se sienta natural. Un plan hecho hoy puede ahorrar tiempo valioso cuando más lo necesiten.

When flooding hits, you may not have time to gather what you need. That’s why it’s important to have an emergency kit ready at home and in your car. Stock it with water, non-perishable food, medications, important documents, a flashlight, and a phone charger. Have a plan for evacuation — know your routes, where you’ll go, and how you’ll reach your family. Also prepare for shelter in place in case you can’t leave. A little preparation now can keep you and your family safe when the water starts rising.
Cuando llegan las inundaciones, puede que no tenga tiempo de juntar lo que necesita. Por eso es importante tener un kit de emergencia listo en casa y en su carro. Incluya agua, comida que no se eche a perder, medicamentos, documentos importantes, una linterna y un cargador de teléfono. Tenga un plan de evacuación — conozca sus rutas, a dónde irá y cómo se comunicará con su familia. También prepárese para refugiarse en casa en caso de que no pueda salir. Un poco de preparación ahora puede mantener a usted y su familia seguros cuando el agua empiece a subir.

Your free Wildfire Risk Home Evaluation is your personalized roadmap for wildfire preparedness.

Your Wildfire Risk Report may include photos, location details, and prioritized recommendations for defensible space, vegetation, vents, gutters, fences, decks, and materials near your home.

Some fixes take an hour (clearing gutters, moving the doormat). Others take more planning (replacing a wood fence section). Luckily for you, your report helps you know where to start. It’s time to take action!

Earlier today, contracted wildfire-mitigation crews working for the City of San Rafael were conducting vegetation-reduction activities on City owned land on San Rafael Lincoln Hill when a fire ignited within the treatment area. Preliminary information indicates the fire was accidentally sparked by the crew’s equipment.

The crew immediately called 9-1-1 and attempted initial suppression using the fire-fighting tools required under their vegetation-management contract. San Rafael Fire Department units quickly arrived and contained the fire to less than half an acre within 30 minutes. Existing fire roads and prior fuel-reduction work significantly aided containment efforts and reduced the risk of expansion. No structures were threatened, no evacuations were required, and no injuries were reported. Alert Marin, Nixle, and social media was utilized to inform the community and reduce additional calls to 9-1-1.
