An emergency includes medical events, fire, serious vehicle crash with injury, a crime in progress, or a life-threatening event.

Otherwise, call 311 or file an online report for eligible non-emergencies.

Residents are encouraged to be aware of high-water conditions

The heavy rainfall may create high-water conditions throughout the City. The public is advised to be smart, use caution and heed all warning signs when approaching flooded streets, streams, or any body of water. Turn Around. Don’t Drown.

Observe these basic safety rules. They could save your life.

• Heed all warning signs
• Watch for rising water levels
• Know where high ground is and move there quickly if you see or hear rapidly rising water
• Do not attempt to cross through flowing water or standing water when you do not know its depth
• Do no try to drive through flooded areas — most flood-related deaths occur in automobiles
• If your vehicle stalls, abandon it and seek higher ground immediately
• Be especially cautious at night
• Follow the advice of local emergency management officials before going on area lakes or rivers

The public is advised to follow the National Weather Service recommendation, “Turn Around. Don’t Drown.” and be aware of the dangers of driving or walking into flooded areas.

Early set-out enforcement has been suspended, and all residents will receive a 20-cubic yard exception for the next 15 days. Anything that exceeds the 20-cubic yard limit may result in an administrative fee.

• They ask that vegetative waste is separated from other material, such as building materials.

• Sanitation is sending these messages out through service alerts, social media, and the Sanitation Services website.
