Watch a 5-minute video that shows how to use sandbags, plastic and wood to protect your home from flooding.
another drenching atmospheric river heading toward the Bay AreaThe Santa Clara Valley Water District produced the video below to show the best ways to use sandbags, plastic sheets and plywood to protect your home from flooding.
Get plywood, duct tape and plastic sheeting such as Visqueen, a brand of durable polyethylene plastic. Cut the plywood to cover whatever needs protecting — a vent, window wells, the lower part of a sliding-glass door, or crawl space under the foundation. See whether you can buy flood insurance. Basic homeowners insurance does not cover losses from flooding. Federal law requires flood insurance if you have a federally regulated mortgage and your building is in a flood zone. Know the name, location and phone number of your agent.
