Watch as Sacramento mayor sends message for preparedness ahead of storms

We're out here today talking about all the ways that the city of Sacramento is preparing year round to make sure that we're ready for any large weather events that we have, whether it's wind, rain, flooding. We're out here making sure that people understand the city's always prepared 24-7 for anything that comes by. Definitely, there's always ways that people can prepare daily. They can make sure that they're clearing the leaves out of their storm drains and not putting out leaf piles too early. Leaf season doesn't start until November 1st, and even when leaf season starts, you want to make sure that you're filling your green bin first, not putting those piles out in the street so that we can make sure that we're not getting leaves in our storm drains but can lead to flooding so make sure that you're doing that if there's any wind make sure you're please bringing in any like loose furniture tying down anything that might be able to fly away so that you can make sure that you're not losing any of your valuables and just make sure that you're ready if wind or rain comes well first of all you know thanks to these amazing city staff we've been doing this for a long time and they're professionals and they're ready. The budget cuts doesn't impact these enterprise funds because the general fund like police, fire, parks, these are paid for with customers utility bills which you know we hear about on a regular basis so it wasn't any significant reductions in that. Sacramento is synonymous with the claw and our trees, our trees. Make sure we We have wonderful urban forests and stuff coming up, but with that comes lots of leaves and with big storms and atmospheric rivers, potential for massive havoc in the neighborhoods.
