“These meetings are designed to help residents understand the risks of flooding and how they can best be prepared,” said Vincene Jones, Neighborhood Services Division Manager for Department of Parks and Recreation.
The City-County Office of Emergency Services, Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, City of Sacramento Fire and Police Departments will be at these events, as well as the Department of Utilities and Animal Care Services. Representatives from these agencies will share information with residents about emergency preparedness and flooding risks in Sacramento.
“Sacramento is a city surrounded by levees and while much of our city has been removed from the floodplain, there is still a risk of flooding. It is something that all of us should be aware of and prepare for,” said Jones. “I encourage residents to come, be safe and flood ready.”
