Homeowners should be checking catch basins or ditches on or near their property for debris, and to remove belongings from any areas that may experience flooding. City crews have been preparing for Hurricane Irene by cleaning and securing all construction sites.
People living in areas affected by flooding can help by keeping an eye on the grates and clearing debris that accumulates during a rainstorm.
You should also secure any items stored outside or put them inside to prevent damage or loss. For information on Hurricane Irene's current track: click here
