- Remove any dead trees or brush.
- Keep all storm drains, roof gutters, pipes, downspouts, driveway culverts and drainage ditches free of debris.
-
Ensure your drainage is directed toward the streams stormdrain system.
-
If gutters are filling, use a rake, broom or shovel to remove debris from the storm drain opening, being sure to leave the grate in place.
-
Landscaping is the best protection against slides. If your home is on a bare-soil hillside, you can protect it by punching straw into the soil with a shovel, or securing sheets of woven burlap with stakes. Correct any cracking or slippage as soon as possible. Directing drainage downslope onto bare soil can cause slope instability.
-
Keep your car fueled and disaster supplies handy.
