Prepare your home for upcoming storms! Here are a quick few things you can do now:
Clear gutters- Opens in new window and drains. Remove leaves and debris from gutters, downspouts, yard drains and areas where water could collect.
Repair roof leaks and secure patio furniture, decorations and other outdoor items that strong winds could move. When using a ladder, stay at least 10 feet away from power lines.
Know your flood risk. Check whether your home is in a flood-prone area- Opens in new window or near a hillside, canyon or recent burn scar that could make it vulnerable to landslides.
Contact your city or county for information about sandbag availability and local flood-preparation resources.
Address hazardous vegetation- Opens in new window early. Don’t try trimming trees near power lines. If you notice dead, dying or leaning growth close to power lines, call SCE at 800-655-4555 to submit a tree trimming request.
