Washoe County is urging people to stay alert as wet weather approaches, which could cause localized flooding on roads and in neighborhoods.
Sandbag locations have been restocked and are available at 24 sites across the region.
People preparing their homes should bring a shovel to fill the bags. Locations can be found at perimetermap.com.
County officials remind people to monitor conditions around their homes and clear debris from storm drains, culverts, and drainage channels when it is safe.
Standing water, slick surfaces, and reduced visibility may create hazards for drivers, so extra caution is recommended. People should never drive through flooded roads, as even shallow water can be dangerous. Officials emphasized, “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.”
At higher elevations, including Incline Village and Crystal Bay, winter parking restrictions are in effect to allow snow removal.
People can check the Where’s My Plow page for current rules and track snowplow activity in near real time.
Parking on roadways during restricted periods is illegal and may result in fines, vehicle damage, and delays to plowing operations.
