Storm Watch: Be Flood Ready

The National Weather Service anticipates heavy rain, strong winds, and flooding throughout the Bay Area tomorrow, January 4, and Thursday, January 5. To be prepared for possible flooding in Los Altos, we urge all residents to sign up for AlertSCC to receive critical information from the County when flooding occurs.

Sandbag Station Available

Sandbags are available at the City's self-serve station located in the parking lot of McKenzie Park at 707 Fremont Avenue. Bags, sand, and shovels are available at the station 24 hours a day.

How to Report Storm Hazards

All storm related hazards—street flooding, fallen trees/limbs, plugged storm drains, traffic signal outages, and fallen street signs—should be reported to the Maintenance Services Division at (650) 947-2785. After-hours calls should be directed to the Police Department’s 24/7 non-emergency line at (650) 947-2770.

Current City Closures and Possible Event Cancellations

The boardwalk at Redwood Grove is currently closed due to potential flooding. Additionally, with another wet week anticipated, there is a possibility of the Annual Fun Run 5K being canceled. Residents are asked to check the City calendar before attending the event for the most up-to-date information.
