The traditional rainy season is around the corner, and Zone 7 Water Agency is helping Tri-Valley residents prepare with their newly launched Flood Ready Freddy emergency preparedness series.
“Emergency preparedness for any Tri-Valley resident can be daunting,” Zone 7 General Manager Valerie Pryor said in a statement. “Zone 7 is thrilled to offer resources that educate Tri-Valley residents on emergency preparedness in a refreshing, fun and memorable way to increase engagement and preparedness.”
Released during statewide Flood Preparedness Week (Oct. 17-24), the series aims to share information about flood risk and flood emergency preparation, and features local “preparedness guru” Flood Ready Freddy and his “trusty sidekick” Scout.
The duo will “educate and help prepare families for different emergency scenarios before, during and after flood season” through videos and one-sheets with emergency preparedness tips and best practices, officials said.
Freddy and Scout will also use videos to teach things like how to place sandbags correctly and understand your flood zone. Handouts with tips and checklists for each topic are also available at zone7water.com/floodready.
