Town Of San Anselmo: Localized Flooding And Downed Trees Possible This Afternoon

Press release from the Town of San Anselmo:

November 8, 2021

Although there is no way to predict how this storm will ultimately impact our community, the Town encourages and recommends that residents and business owners consider taking the following actions:

 Sign up to receive emergency calls, text, and/or email notification alerts using AlertMarin, the Marin County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Services emergency notification system.

It is highly recommended that businesses that are closed today install their flood gates and/or take other actions to protect your business from potential flooding.

SAND BAGS As is always the case, during heavy winter rains, sand and sand and bags are available for San Anselmo residents and merchants on Sunny Hills Drive in the parking lot adjacent to the tennis courts, which is across the street from Swirl, the yogurt shop in the Red Hill Shopping Center.

The County of Marin has a new emergency portal located here:  https://emergency.marincounty.org/ with access to quick county-wide information. Please be prepared and stay tuned to local TV, radio, and online sources for updates on the weather. The Town has storm resource information available on the website at: https://www.townofsananselmo.org/776/Flooding-and-Storm-Resources. Important Information:  When you hear the flood horn, it means that flooding may be imminent. You should immediately move your family and vehicles to higher ground.  Please don’t use the flood horn as an opportunity to go see the creek firsthand.  Rushing flood waters are fast moving and very dangerous.
