Before monsoon season: make a household plan
Learn your local risks and routes
- Find out how flooding affects your home and neighborhood, and identify routes to higher ground plus alternate evacuation routes.
- Sign up for local alerts and learn what your area’s watches and warnings mean. Follow local emergency management and weather-service guidance when conditions change.
- Choose where household members will go if evacuation is needed, and agree on a communication plan and an out-of-area contact. Include children, older adults, people with disabilities, medication needs, and pets.
- Keep phones and essential electronics charged when severe weather is approaching.
Assemble emergency supplies
The National Weather Service recommends keeping enough food, water, and medicine on hand to last at least three days in an emergency. Its flood-preparation guidance also recommends a battery-operated NOAA Weather Radio. Tailor supplies to your household, including needed prescriptions and pet essentials.

Move what matters above likely flood levels
- Keep vital papers and irreplaceable items upstairs or above expected flood levels when possible. If there is no upper floor, raise items off the ground-level floor where practical.
- Prioritize identification, legal and financial records, medicines, small valuables, electronics, and items that cannot be replaced. Move rugs and furniture only if there is time and it is safe.
- Put papers in a waterproof or water-resistant container, and keep digital or offsite copies as well. A container can help protect documents but is not a guarantee against every flood condition.
FEMA’s property guidance recommends storing valuables and important documents above the base flood elevation, preferably upstairs, and keeping copies elsewhere. FEMA: Protect Your Property—Storm Surge
Reduce avoidable damage to the home
Routine maintenance and existing equipment
- When safe and practical, clear gutters, downspouts, nearby drains, and ditches so water can drain.
- Check that an existing sump pump works. Ask a qualified professional whether a backup system is appropriate for your property.
- Ask a qualified plumber about installing plumbing check valves to reduce floodwater backing up through drains. Clearly label breakers or fuses so they can be identified if it is safe to access them.
- Secure fuel tanks and consider other structural changes only with qualified, location-aware advice.
The National Weather Service recommends sump-pump checks, professional installation of plumbing check valves, and clearly labeled breakers or fuses. National Weather Service: Before a Flood

Evaluate barriers, sensors, and longer-term improvements
Portable flood gates or shields, sandbags, inflatable floodwalls, flood skirts, and flood sensors are options to assess for a specific property—not universal solutions or guarantees. For a temporary barrier, consider whether it fits the opening and likely water conditions, how much time and labor installation takes, where it can be stored, and whether it can be reused. FEMA lists these types of measures but does not establish one as best for every home. FEMA: Protect Your Home from Flooding
For renovations, FEMA describes flood-resistant insulation, wall finishes, and flooring as ways to minimize damage and ease cleaning. Major appliances and HVAC equipment may be elevated or protected. Raising electrical service panels, outlets, switches, or wiring requires a licensed electrician. FEMA’s brochure recommends raising listed electrical components at least one foot above potential flood elevation; treat that as source-specific guidance, not a universal design specification. Confirm current local code, flood elevations, and professional advice before doing property work.

See www.P65 Warnings.ca.gov.
Check flood insurance before flooding threatens
The National Weather Service says standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage and advises contacting an insurer or agent about flood coverage before a threat develops. Ask directly whether coverage applies to both the home and contents, and verify current terms, exclusions, waiting periods, and eligibility. Policy details depend on the policy and program; do not assume that buying coverage after a warning will cover an imminent event. National Weather Service: Before a Flood · FEMA: Protect Your Property—Storm Surge
When flooding is forecast or a warning is issued
- Monitor official alerts and act early. The National Weather Service advises leaving if flooding is likely rather than waiting for an order. If local officials issue an evacuation instruction, follow it promptly.
- Move belongings only if there is time and it is safe. Put documents and valuables upstairs and bring in or secure outdoor items if feasible. Do not let possessions delay departure.
- Use existing protection only when safe. Activate an existing sump pump and close installed backflow valves if it is safe to do so. Deploy temporary barriers only if there is sufficient time; filling and placing sandbags can take longer than expected.
- Avoid electrical and water hazards. Do not touch wet electrical equipment or handle electrical equipment while standing in water. Turn off utilities only when safe and in accordance with official instructions; never enter floodwater to reach a switch or panel.
- Leave with people, pets, and essentials. Take medicines, phones, chargers, and essential documents, but do not risk anyone’s safety to save belongings.

Plan property work with qualified professionals
Flood elevations, construction, local codes, and monsoon conditions differ from place to place. Consult local building officials, floodplain managers, engineers, or qualified contractors about property-specific measures; use a licensed electrician for electrical-system work. Temporary barriers and retrofit options should be selected for the site rather than treated as guaranteed protection.
