Residential Reminders: storm prep, Colby Circle, Heart of the Foothills

Storm Preparation
In the event of a storm, the city reminds residents to heed the following precautions:

Sand bags are available from the three Claremont fire stations: #101 at 606 Bonita Ave., #102 at 2040 N. Sumner Ave., and #62 at 3701 N. Mills Ave. Residents will need to fill and transport the bags themselves.

In the face of heavy rains and possible flooding, residents are reminded to evaluate flood insurance options, obtain sandbags, clear rain gutters and drains, have water and food stockpiled for at least a 72-hour period, monitor media outlets, check tires and windshield wiper blades, and replace batteries in flashlights if needed.

During a violent storm, residents should avoid areas subject to flooding and stay away from downed power lines. Following a storm, be sure to check your home or business for damage and make immediate repairs.
