Residents in low-lying areas that are known to flood are encouraged to take precautionary steps ahead of the storm:

• Sweep and pick up trash, leaves, grass clippings and other debris that collect around storm drains and curb gutters

• Keep the lids securely closed on trash and recycle bins on the street. Put bins 2 to 3 feet away from the curb to keep stormwater flowing

• Turn off irrigation to save water and minimize runoff

• Know the safest routes to and from your home or property in the event of flooding

• Do not drive, ride or walk through flood waters

• Do not open or lift manhole covers when the street is flooded
