Free workshop on how to protect homes from El Niño flooding

FALLBROOK – In an effort to help residents of the Greater Fallbrook Area prepare for the upcoming mega-storms of El Niño, the Fallbrook Public Utility District will hold a free workshop detailing guidelines for protecting one’s property.

The much-anticipated El Niño storms are expected to bring record rainfall to Fallbrook and the region. But that water will come hard and fast, and with it, potential flooding. The meeting will outline what these storms will mean for Fallbrook and area homes.

On Thursday, Dec. 10 at 6:30 p.m., FPUD will have local meteorologist Alex Tardy, warning coordination manager for the National Weather Service Forecast Office, give a presentation on what to expect from El Niño and how to safeguard one’s home and property. His office is part of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration.

The talk will be followed by a question-and-answer session when attendees can ask questions specific to their property or situation.

Tardy has given this presentation and interactive discussion at other locations, including the City of Hemet and the City of Murrieta to jam-packed rooms and crowds that exceeded expectations.

This is an invaluable opportunity to get free information specifically targeted to Fallbrook. The meeting will be at FPUD's district office, 990 E. Mission Road.

Staff from the North County Fire Protection District and nearby Rainbow Municipal Water District will also be on hand to answer questions specific to their areas of expertise.

Refreshments will be provided.
