Emergency Preparedness

Help prevent street flooding by removing leaves and keeping storm drains clear. Please keep leaf bags/piles at least three feet from parked cars, and away from the gutter and storm drain inlets.

Place fallen leaves in your green waste bin, or bag your leaves and place them in your regular refuse bin.

From November to mid-January, use Roseville's complimentary curbside leaf pickup service.

Keep an emergency kit with a battery operated radio, flashlights, extra batteries and a first-aid kit.

Stock easy-to-open prepared foods, a can opener, bottled water and pet food in case of a power outage. Keep extra blankets and warm clothes in a safe dry place.

If you use an electric generator, be sure it is installed properly otherwise you put your property and utility workers lives at risk.

Sign up for Placer Alert (formerly Roseville Alert) to be alerted about emergency events in your neighborhood. 

Sign up for free electronic newsletters from the City.

Follow the City's social media accounts. During a storm or emergency, updates will be posted on these. We have accounts on Facebook, NextDoor and X (Twitter).

Power outages may occur during stormy weather. To report or confirm an outage, visit roseville.ca.us/outages.

If you live outside the City of Roseville, contact Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E).

DO NOT TOUCH downed power lines

If you see a downed power line, do not touch it. Assume it is dangerous and call 9-1-1 immediately.

For immediate hazards after hours or on weekends, please call police and fire dispatch at (916) 774-5000 x 1. 

To report street flooding for streets located in Placer County, contact Placer County Public Works.

The City of Roseville opens sandbag pickup locations when creeks are predicted to cause flooding. Sandbags are not provided simply because heavy rains are predicted. Visit roseville.ca.us/sandbags for the current status. 

City staff monitors the weather and evaluates how predicted rain may affect the city. Roseville has a robust drainage system designed to handle large storm events. Many homes and businesses have been designed and built to be ‘high and dry’ during most storms. If conditions dictate, sandbag stations will be opened.

If you observe local drainage issues, you’re encouraged to report them. Contact Public Works – Street Maintenance by calling (916) 774-5790 during business hours, or Police and Fire non-emergency dispatch at (916) 774-5000, option #1 after business hours.

To have sandbags readily available for your property, you may pick up supplies at your local home improvement store.

If you are located outside of Roseville city limits, view the status of sandbag availability in Placer County.

Trails, particularly in low-lying areas, are subject to flooding and temporary closures due to storms. Conditions may change quickly. 

Never enter an area that's under water. 

View planned trail closures.

There is a natural curiosity to want to view first-hand the rising water conditions. BE SAFE.

Rising water is dangerous. Stay away from the water and off levees. Pedestrians and vehicles on levees are prohibited, pose a danger to the public, and hinder the efforts of emergency response and flood monitors.

Do not walk through flowing water or drive through flooded areas.

Do not drive during a storm unless necessary. Turn on your headlights when it is raining. Slow down on wet streets.

• Drink plenty of water (2-4 glasses of water every hour if you are physically active and out in direct heat).
• Wear lightweight, light colored loose fitting clothing as well as a hat and sunglasses when outdoors.
• Always apply sunscreen and limit exposure during mid-day.
• When participating in outdoor activities, do so with a buddy and pace yourself in the heat.
• Always monitor those at risk for heat related illnesses especially those on medications for heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. as they may be affected more by the heat.

• Provide pets with plenty of water and shade.
