Preparing for Winter Storms and Flooding

The City of Fremont has a long history of flooding dating back to the 1950’s. With winter storms on the horizon, there’s no better time than the present to prepare. View our Flood Information page and Fremont Flood Preparedness Flyer for more information on what to do before, during, and after a flood.

The City's Efforts

The City has developed a storm response plan to be as prepared as possible. Over the years, the City of Fremont has effectively managed storms of all sizes. City staff is prepared and will closely monitor all severe weather events as they unfold—adjusting staffing levels, emergency response, and public messaging accordingly. The City Manager’s Office in coordination with the Fremont Police Department and Fremont Fire Department Public Information Officers will provide our community with general information and safety messages throughout the winter storm season.

Monitoring Storm Drains

We need your help! Storm drains have limited capacity and flooding may occur in low lying areas. Since Public Works crews may be delayed in responding to reports of flooding, based on the severity of the storm, residents can help by:

• Checking drainage systems and removing debris as necessary.
• Collecting and properly disposing of heavy leaf falls before the storm occurs.
• Removing leaves and debris from storm drain inlets with a rake or shovel.
• Using sandbags and plastic sheeting to protect flood-prone entrances to homes.
• Driving slowly and carefully, particularly where water has accumulated on roadways.  
• Never drive into a large body of standing water.
• Staying tuned to local radio and television news sources for the latest weather information and the City’s website and social media accounts for Fremont specific updates.
