Preparedness Tips
The City of Stockton encourages citizens to use this checklist to prepare you and your family for storms and other natural disasters. Checklists are available on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website, Ready.gov:
- Plan for your family and pets (carriers, food, litter.)
- If ordered to evacuate, do so immediately. If stranded, move to the roof so rescuers can see you.
- Avoid flooded roadways and waterways. (Just six inches of water can sweep you away.) If your car stalls in water, abandon it immediately and seek higher ground.
Evacuations
Should massive flooding occur from bodies of water and evacuations be necessary, City and County Police and Sheriffs would make in-neighborhood notifications. The City and County would issue notifications through all available channels of communication, including media, social media, websites, etc., and the emergency broadcast system, which includes television, radio, and cell phone alerts.
Public Safety
A natural curiosity exists to view firsthand rising water conditions, but local public safety agencies advise the following:
- Rising water is dangerous. Stay away from the water and off the levees.
-
Pedestrians and vehicles on levees are prohibited. They pose a danger to the public and hinder emergency response and monitoring agencies.
