Storm Tip #3: Know Two Ways Out (and What to Do If Neither Works)

Hillside living comes with great views and roads that sometimes stop being roads for a day or two. A downed tree or a washed-out shoulder can close your usual route in minutes. A little prep on a dry day means a closed road is an inconvenience, not a crisis.

1. Know two ways out. Figure out a second route from your neighborhood now, before you need it, and drive it once so it isn't a surprise. Include a way out on foot, in case a road is blocked and you need to leave. Neighbors often know the back routes best, so ask them.

2. Keep the tank at least half full. Gas stations don't pump during power outages, and a long detour burns more than you'd think. Make half a tank your storm-season minimum.

3. Check before you go. If you don't have to drive during a storm, don't. If you do, look up road conditions first and give road crews plenty of room. Never drive through floodwater: turn around, don't drown.

4. Build a Stay Kit for when you can't go anywhere. If both ways out are closed, you're sheltering at home. Keep a few days of water, food that needs no cooking, medications, flashlights and batteries, and phone chargers in one spot. Include supplies for pets, babies, and anyone with special needs.

5. Have a buddy. Pick a neighbor to check on, and one who checks on you. Hills make it harder to get help to anyone who might need it, so a friendly knock goes a long way. If you have horses or other large animals, plan now for where they would go and how you would get them there.

Storm Tip #2: Gutters, Drainage, and Sandbags
We promised you the glamorous stuff, and here it is. Nobody has ever posted a photo of their downspout, but a clear one can save your garage.

1. Clear your gutters and downspouts. Leaves, pine needles, and the occasional tennis ball turn a gutter into a very small, very sad pond. Clear them before the first big storm, and make sure downspouts send water away from your foundation instead of right at it. (Ladder rule: have a spotter, and never go up there once it's wet. No gutter is worth a trip to the ER.)

2. Walk your property's water path. On a dry day, follow the route water would take across your lot. Check ditches, culverts, and drains, and clear any debris you can safely reach. Water is lazy and always takes the easiest path, so it's worth making sure the easiest path isn't your house.

3. Keep your leaves out of the street. Don't sweep or blow them into the roadway or a ditch. They end up clogging the same drains you're counting on to carry water away.

4. Plan your sandbags. The Town's self-serve sandbag site at the Corporation Yard, 27500 Purissima Rd, is available every day. Bring a shovel and a helper, since sandbags are heavy. Valley Water's free sandbag program also has sites around the county from Nov. 1 through Apr. 15, and some of those sites ask for proof of residency. Sandbags work best to divert water around your home, not to dam it.
