See below tips from The City of Rohnert Park:

? Establish or review your emergency plan for family and pets.

? Pick up leaf litter and yard clippings around your home.

? Use a broom to sweep your driveway and the gutter in front of your house, never rinse with a hose.

? Clear gutters of leaves and other debris. Compost or recycle yard debris in City-issued garden waste containers.

? Park your vehicles and place waste containers one foot away from the curb so that stormwater can flow unobstructed.

? Move vehicles to higher ground; avoid parking near streams or creeks if rain is imminent.

? Build or restock your emergency preparedness kit and store in a safe, high place. Include a flashlight, batteries, cash, and first aid supplies including necessary prescription medications.

? Identify potential home hazards and know how to secure or protect them before a flood.

? Be prepared to turn off electrical power when there is standing water, fallen power lines, or other hazards.
