Multiple storms systems are forecasted to impact Marin County in the coming days and the second half of next week. 

This weekend's storms are likely to saturate the soil, creating conditions for quicker and more significant flooding by the time Monday's storm arrives, with heavier rain, high wind gusts, and higher waves in coastal areas. 

Take steps now to prepare for flooding, power outages, and other storm related challenges. Sand and sand bags are available at Blackie's Pasture and Teather Park; please help yourself.

Flood. If you are in an area likely to flood, use sandbags. The Department of Public Works has set up two sandbag stations for your use. Sand and sand bags are available at the Blackie's Pasture and Teather Park parking lots. Please help yourself. A guide on how to properly stack sandbags is available on the GetReady storm site. If you are aware of drainage failure and significant flooding, contact the Tiburon Police Department at (415) 789-2801 and TPD will notify the appropriate response personnel.

Erosion control. Construction sites are required to implement erosion control and winterization of sites during the rainy season (October 15 through May 1). Learn how to winterize your site here.

Wind. Heavy winds will cause patio furniture and other loose items to blow around and potentially break sliding glass doors and windows. Secure all patio furniture, boats, and other items in your yard.

Fallen trees. Report fallen trees to the Tiburon Police Department at (415) 789-2801.

Landslide. Inspect your property for land movement, retaining wall failure or drainage ditch and downspout issues. Clean out ditches, drains, and gutters for proper water flow away from your structure. Know multiple escape routes from your home and yard and evacuate your property if you discover earth movement or landslide.

Power outage or downed power lines. Power outages should be reported to PG&E at (800)743-5002 or online. Downed power lines should be reported to PG&E and 911. 

Generator Use. If you intend to incorporate a large capacity power source into your preparedness toolkit to provide backup power for a medical device or refrigerator, keep in mind that permanent generator installation may require additional permitting. Contact the Tiburon Building Division at (415) 435-7380 for more information. 

Driver safety. Use extra caution and keep your headlights on. Obey the speed limit and follow other traffic signals or detours from a safe distance.
