The Sacramento County Office of Emergency Services is lifting the Evacuation Warning for residents living in the Wilton, Rancho Murieta, Herald and Dillard Road area.
The County would like to remind residents returning home that moderate rain and winds are expected this week and conditions can change rapidly. Those returning home or venturing out onto the roads should remain alert to localized flooding and road conditions, emergency response and maintenance crews are still working to clear roads and restore outages.
With that in mind, please consider the following items:
Never Drive Through Standing Water
There is still localized flooding out on many roads. Please review the road closure list before driving out. Never drive around road closure barriers or through standing water.
Tips and Reminders for Returning Home After a Flood
Flood dangers do not end when the water begins to recede. For return to home tips and reminders related to utilities, food, mold, retrieving a stranded vehicle, finding lost pets and more, check out the After a Property Floods news release.
Floodwater-Contaminated Septic Systems, Water Wells and Small Water Systems
Some residences and businesses use private septic systems, water wells and other small water systems that can be contaminated by floodwater.
For detailed information and steps to take if you suspect that your septic, water well or small water system has been compromised by floodwater, visit the Disaster Preparation and Response at Home webpage.
Reporting Property Damage
To report damage to homes or businesses within Sacramento County, visit the Damage Assessment System website. All of your information will be sent to the Office of Emergency Services (OES). It is important to submit a report to this website because OES will use this information to review and track damage. This is not the same as a report for insurance.
