just to prevent major flood damage in the Central Valley from storms that are expected to occur much more often than megastorms.
Flood water bypasses help protect the Sacramento Valley and can recharge groundwater. The San Joaquin Valley urgently needs a similar system. It’s likely too late to build them in highly urbanized parts of Southern California. Third, locally managed evacuation drills should be held in areas where the flood risk is highest, such as Sacramento and areas near the Los Angeles and Santa Ana Rivers. A megastorm will require evacuation of millions of people in the Central Valley and parts of the Bay Area and Southern California. The public needs to be prepared.
No, the media has forgotten. The 80s were far worse. It was a lake from Sacramento to Chico. But I guess history only stretches back as far as social media for today’s ‘reporters’
🤔
Not matter. Our one-party California Legislature has more important matters.
