🌧️ The rain reminds us to keep our properties and roadways clear to prevent spills and flooding—all in protection of our waterways! 🌊
Here are some simple ways to prepare before and after a storm:
✅ Clear rain gutters & downspouts – Remove leaves and debris to prevent overflow and water damage.
✅ Check storm drains near your home – Keep leaves, trash, and yard waste from clogging the flow.
✅ Direct downspouts properly – Ensure water drains onto landscaping, not driveways or streets.
✅ Secure loose yard items – Prevent trash bins, planters, and outdoor furniture from washing into drainage areas.
✅ Use a broom, not a hose – Sweeping driveways and sidewalks keeps pollutants out of storm drains.
✅ Dispose of waste properly – Never dump oil, grease, or chemicals outside, where they can wash into waterways.
💙 Small actions help prevent flooding and protect our water! Let’s work together to keep our community safe and our environment clean. #RainReady #FloodPrevention #ProtectOurWater
