Meteorologists and city leaders across the Bay Area are warning residents the time to prepare is now, as a potentially deadly and powerful atmospheric river barrels down on the region.
TIMELINE:Some parts of Contra Costa County like Walnut Creek and Danville saw massive flooding on Saturday. Those neighborhoods know they will likely be hit again on Wednesday.
"We are proactively patrolling various areas of the county to look for clogged storm drains that may have been clogged up from the previous storm, and additional fallen leaves, etc.," explains Balbas. Livermore was hit hard by last week's event, with police asking residents on Sunday to stay away from Arroyo Mocho creek and trail as the California Department of Water Resources released water from the Del Valle Dam at a rate of 500 cubic feet per second. State officials said the dam was not at risk Sunday.
At the Emergency Operations Center in San Rafael, officials are standing by anticipating a long day on Wednesday. Residents who were affected by flooding on Saturday should be extra alert for this week's rains, police said. Valley Water says it's important for people to sign up for emergency alerts, have a plan and know if your home is at risk of flooding.Steve Holmes and the South Bay Clean Creek Coalition have been going up and down the rivers warning the unhoused community to move out of the areas for their own safety.
