🌧️ Good news for Riverside County residents!

Riverside County has achieved a FEMA Class 5 flood safety rating, which means eligible residents in unincorporated areas can receive up to 25% off flood insurance beginning October 1, 2026.

With El Niño potentially bringing a wetter winter, now is a great time to review your flood insurance coverage and know your flood risk. 💧

Last Thursday, our team had the pleasure of attending the Geomatic Conference hosted by the Cal Poly Pomona CLSA chapter!

We had a great opportunity to learn about a variety of topics, including Right of Way Engineering, BPELSG current statistics and updates, and more.

Our Chief of Survey & Mapping, Joshua Tremba, also had the opportunity to present “Get to the Point Cloud: The Finer Points of UAS Mapping!”

We were also proud to have our Intern, Gabriella Favela-Aguirre, share her presentation on Digital Twin Creation.

It was a great experience connecting with students and fellow professionals, sharing knowledge, and learning from others in the industry.

Thank you to the Cal Poly Pomona CLSA chapter for hosting such a great event!

We look forward to continuing to connect, learn, and support the next generation of surveying and mapping professionals!

The Flood Control team recently held a day-long field exercise, with teams patrolling designated areas throughout the county to inspect facilities and identify maintenance needs ahead of the upcoming El Nino and wet season.

This annual exercise is a great opportunity to get familiar with our facilities, practice response procedures, and strengthen teamwork - before the real rain arrives!

With the upcoming El Nino conditions and winter wet season, Riverside County Flood Control is taking proactive steps to strengthen our emergency response readiness.

Our maintenance team recently participated in Flood Mitigation Training, hosted by our partners TEAM RUBICON, providing an opportunity to refresh and practice essential flood-fighting techniques. Team Rubicon

Preparedness is a team effort - and we're working year-round to help protect our communities and infrastructure when severe weather arrives.

Stay Informed. Stay Prepared.

🎉 A huge shoutout to our Flood Control team—Simon Tse, Lorena Del Aguila, David Garcia, and Hilal Elhaddad—for winning Outstanding Floodplain Hazard Mitigation Project of the Year! Floodplain Management Association of CA, NV, HI

This award recognizes teams that have prepared and/or implemented a locally, state, or federally approved multi-objective flood mitigation project.

The District was recognized for its proactive and comprehensive approach to mitigating the devastating “fire-to-flood” cycle impacting communities throughout the region. Following repeated wildfires, the District implemented a multi-phase strategy focused on:
• Hazard assessments
• Interagency coordination
• Flood modeling
• Facility preparation
• Emergency response
• Long-term monitoring

Together, these efforts help reduce risks from debris flows, sediment transport, and flooding while protecting communities and strengthening regional resilience.

Congratulations to the entire team on this well-deserved recognition! 👏🏆

Last Thursday, we had the opportunity to meet and connect with members of Cal Poly Pomona’s Society of Women Engineers (SWE)!
Society of Women Engineers - Cal Poly Pomona

SWE is dedicated to promoting higher levels of education and professional achievement for students and future women engineers. It was a pleasure sharing more about our organization, the different projects we’re working on, and our commitment to protecting and improving the infrastructure of Riverside County.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with the next generation of engineers and share our passion for the work we do! Thank you, SWE, for having us and we look forward to coming back!
