Here's how you can prepare for another severe storm system set to hit the Bay Area tomorrow.
Here are a few ways you can protect yourself from this severe weather.
Ensure that you have a three-day supply of food, water and medical supplies, which can range from first-aid kits to medications. Other additions will depend on your needs.The San Francisco Department of Public Works offers up to ten free sandbags for residents, but the department paused its distribution Tuesday morning as it waits for more supplies.
When encountering flooded roadways, always remember to"turn around, don't drown." SFFD also reminds motorists to treat any traffic lights that aren't working as stop signs. Drivers should also be cognizant of standing water and hydroplaning, which has a greater chance of occurring in slick conditions.Though it may be tempting to toss your Christmas tree on the sidewalk, these, and other obstacles, make it harder for water to pass into storm drains.
These possessions can include any electronic items you may own, important documents and other valuable items.
