April Showers bring...

...More Floods. So be READY!! Flood prevention is important to keep you and your family safe!

As the rainy season gets underway, Department of Public Works officials encourage residents to take precautions and protect themselves and their property from flood risks and flood damage. The Los Angeles basin is subject to floods caused by short duration high intensity storms. A moderate rainfall on the coast may produce very heavy rain in the mountains, creating risks of mudflows. In the flat lands, a short-lived storm can cause ponding that damages property and increases traffic accidents.

Flood Prevention Tips

  • Keep drainage areas (ditches, swales, small channels) free of debris accumulation.
  • Consult an engineer to design a permanent water/flood debris control device, if needed.
  • Ensure that drainage facilities are functioning properly
  • Landscape slope areas with plants suitable for fire retardant and erosion control.
  • Report water in streets overtopping the curb to the Bureau of Engineering 
  • Review your insurance coverage. Homeowner's insurance does not cover flood damage.
Insurance premiums are reduced ten percent if the building is located within the City's 100-year floodplain. Areas outside the 100-year floodplain receive a five percent discount. However, there is a 30-day waiting period for the flood insurance to become effective.

Disaster Strikes! Get Back to Normal FAST!



To return your home or business to the safe, attractive condition it was in before a disaster, the IICRC recommends that you do not attempt to treat water or fire, smoke and odor damage yourself. A far more realistic solution is to hire a certified restoration firm for professional advice and assistance.

Restoring a disaster-damaged home or business is a complex and challenging process that may involve multiple services, and several contractors and subcontractors. There isn't just one criterion for selecting a certified restoration firm to restore your home or business. Several combined factors must be considered:

Education
  • Formal education in specific restoration as well as health and safety training
  • Certificate(s) of continuing education on new techniques and technology
  • Technician certification through a recognized industry organization
Experience - including a wide range of restoration options
Insurance – worker and liability

After the fire trucks are gone, after a water source is fixed or eliminated, the damage has only just begun. Without rapid response from trained restoration professionals, both the scope and cost of a loss increases dramatically.
