Advancing Flood Protection Projects & Storm Readiness Reminders

Published on November 14, 2024

November marks the beginning of our rainy season and a new update shares City steps taken to ensure storm drains and creeks are working properly, updates about advancing the construction of the Newell Road Bridge Replacement project and additional City planning underway. Plus, find five reminders to help prepare for possible storm impacts.

Current forecasts by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) indicates El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Neutral. This means there is an equal chance of below or above average rainfall in the Bay Area during the rainy season. The rainy season spans from October 15 - April 15, and there is a chance that La Niña could develop later in the year.

Either way, be storm ready by preparing before heavy storms arrive. Preparing your home is a critical element to being storm ready. Support community safety by helping neighbors, report concerns, and track storm conditions.
