​Radio Spot1.pngStorms are bringing heavy winds and rains for the valleys and significant snowfall in the mountains. The Sacramento Office of Emergency Services is coordinating with local service providers to prepare. Crews are gearing up and additional staff are on alert. 

Radio Spot2.pngYou can gear up around your home and prepare your family and pets as well. Before storms hit, scoop up leaves and debris to reduce gutter and storm drain clogs. Put away lightweight objects in your yards. Check your trees for cracked or uplifted soil on the opposite side of a leaning tree and inspect for cracks in the trunk or at the base of limbs.
