Flood Awareness

Manual for flood preparation

Solano RCD partners with the Solano County Water Agency to provide flood preparedness education and technical support. Our flood protection manual, Ready for the Flood, is available as a pdf download here in both English and Spanish. This manual is full of up to date advice about what to do before, during and after a flood, including contact information for agencies with flood protection and response duties.

Small Grant Program for flood control

If you live on a property prone to flooding, the RCD can work with you to help you build a partnership with your neighbors to develop projects to alleviate or minimize flooding risks for Solano County Water Agency's small grant program. English and Spanish versions of the brochure for this program are available to download in the resources section.
