City of Chino Hills Urges Residents to Prepare for Stormy Weather?
11/12/2024 (Permalink)
Our local Chino/Chino Hills team wants everyone in Chino Hills to know how to protect your family and property from unpredictable, heavy rain. Here are some tips from the City of Chino Hills to be prepared for inclement weather:
- Assemble an Emergency Supply Kit as recommended by the American Red Cross
- Sign up for San Bernardino County's Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS) alerts.
- Consider purchasing flood insurance, many homeowner policies do not cover flood damage.
- Create a list of items ahead of time to take with you if you are asked to evacuate. Consider items such as keys, cash and credit cards, photos, insurance papers, computers, prescriptions, phone chargers, and pet supplies.
- Keep debris clear from rain gutters, downspouts, and drains so water can flow and drain properly.
- If your home and yard are prone to erosion in heavy rains, consider implementing erosion control mechanisms such as sandbagging and wattles.
- Have a supply of sandbags and other flood prevention materials such as plastic sheeting, plywood, and tarps on hand.
- Check the roof for leaks, damage, or displaced tiles and pay special attention to areas where separation could occur, such as around the chimney.
