    • Winter Preparedness Resources

      Here are some tips to help you prepare for upcoming wet winter weather.

      • Make preparedness part of your routine and it will be easier. San Mateo County’s Department of Emergency Management put together a 6-month planning calendar to help you stock everything you might need in an extended disaster.
      • Take time to prepare your home by cleaning debris out of gutters and drainage culverts, and  checking batteries in flashlights and emergency AM/FM radios. If your home or business suffers from chronic flooding, check out these videos for tips on how to safely fill and stack sandbags. 
      • Don’t forget vehicle maintenance! Make sure your windshield wipers are functioning, tires are properly inflated and have sufficient tread to safely operate on wet and slippery roads. 
      • If you use a portable generator during power outages, please keep a functioning fire extinguisher nearby. And remember to never ever add fuel while the generator is running or is still hot from operating.
      • Look out for your neighbors. It only takes a few minutes to say hello and exchange contact information. When power goes out or roads close, knowing how to stay in touch and where to access reliable information will help you and your family stay calm and weather the storm.
