Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) and Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) are possible, releasing untreated sewage onto road surfaces. High bacteria levels are likely for 48 hours after the storm. MyRWA advises you to avoid contact with waterbodies for 48 hours following the storm.
Flooding is possible - be cautious.
Preparation:
Be prepared to lose power.
Pick up trash on your street to prevent it from entering and/or clogging your stormdrain.
MyRWA suggests gathering baking supplies for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies to make it through the storm!
