City prepares for winter rain storm
In anticipation of
a major rain storm predicted to hit Friday, the City of Costa Mesa is
making free sandbags available to residents and putting emergency crews
on standby to deal with any flooding, downed trees, inoperable traffic
lights or other weather-related issues.
"We don't anticipate any major problems, but we want to be ready just in case," City CEO Tom Hatch said.
The city's Public Services
Department will have crews clear out the catch basins of storm drains
Wednesday and Thursday, and schedule emergency personnel to be on
standby Friday and Saturday. The Costa Mesa Fire Department will have an
additional four firefighters on duty Friday and Saturday.
Costa Mesa residents can
fill up to 15 sandbags for free (shovels provided) at the Placentia Fire
Station at 2300 Placentia Ave.
