As El Niño brings heavier rain this season, make sure you're prepared before the storms arrive:

✔️ Store vital documents in a safe-deposit box and confirm or buy flood insurance.

✔️ Pack emergency kits for home, work and car with nonperishable food, water (1 gallon per person per day for three days), first aid, medicine, flashlights, batteries, a manual can opener and a battery-powered radio.

✔️ Keep your gas tank at least three-quarters full and know your evacuation routes to high ground.

✔️ Stock emergency waterproofing supplies, including sandbags, plywood and plastic sheeting.

✔️ Clear rain gutters, yard drains, swales and private ditches to keep water flowing.

✔️ Clear debris from your yard and participate in Adopt-a-Drain to protect City storm drains.

✔️ Place sandbags, straw wattles or plastic sheeting on slopes to stop erosion and mudflows.
