Please take the time to prepare by securing outdoor items as there is the potential for high winds along with the wet weather.

Sandbags and sand (just bring your shovel) are available, free of charge, to Mountain View residents.

Just head to the small parking lot located at the intersection of Gladys and N. Whisman Road (North of Mountain View Fire Station 4).

This is also a good time to stock up on a few flashlights and batteries in the event PG&E power goes out. You can check outage info here: http://www.pge.com/en/myhome/outages/index.page.
