☔️ Heavy rainfall started over the weekend and will continue today. The @SFWMD is closely monitoring the forecast and our water managers started making operational adjustments and will continue to make adjustments as needed during the rainfall event.
Actions by SFWMD:
💧 allow the regional flood control system to operate at full capacity.
💧 Actively using flood protection gates, pumps and a boat lock to move water away from communities.
💧 Encouraging local governments, drainage operators, and communities to monitor rainfall, ensure storm drains are cleared and check their systems.
💧 Continue to adjust the flood control system in response to high tides.
Know who to contact if you experience flooding from the storm. Visit SFWMD.gov/FloodControl and type in your address to look up your local drainage operator.
Residents should remain vigilant. Visit SFWMD.gov/Weather for more information.
