Risks to the Cranston Burn Scar Communities

  • Rainfall runoff can be 2 to 7 times higher than normal, particularly during small storms
  • Slopes subject to erosion, failure
  • Extreme Flood, mud and/or Debris Flow potential from large streams such as Hurkey

Creek, Dry Creek, and Coldwater Creek (and major tributaries of those creeks)

  • Localized flood, mud and debris flow potential from other local hillsides and streams
  • Rockfall from steep slopes
  • Extended road closures, loss of utilities

Can be triggered by rainfall of 1” per hour or more Rainfall only has to occur for 15 minutes Takes 3-5 years for slopes to stabilize/recover

Rules for Debris:

  • Never underestimate the power of debris flow
  • Clear a path for debris
  • Deflect debris, don’t dam it
  • Protect your home first
  • Protect windows and doors
  • Work with adjacent property owners

Other thoughts on Insurance – Talk to your Agent

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones today issued a formal notice to all property and casualty insurance companies reminding them of their duty to cover damages from the recent mudslide and debris flows if it is determined that the ravaging

  • f hillsides and vegetation by the Thomas and other fires was the

efficient proximate cause of the mudslides. In general homeowners' insurance policies, excludes flood, mudslide, debris flow and other similar events. However, Jones put insurers on notice that both the Insurance Code and case law have established the legal doctrine of "efficient proximate cause" which means if the facts show the Thomas Fire, a covered peril, was the efficient proximate cause of the subsequent mudflow, mudslides, debris flow, landslide, or other similar event, then damage caused by those events should be covered under the property owner's insurance policy.

Information for Homeowners if Subject to Flooding

Standard homeowner policies do not cover flood damage! Purchase Flood Insurance offered by the National Flood Insurance Program (Policy takes 30 days to activate)

Preventable Rain Impacts:

  • Unprotected slope failures
  • Retaining wall failures from

blocked drain holes

  • Collapsed commercial building

roofs due to plugged roof drains

  • Fallen trees
  • Localized flooding from

blocked drainage courses

SLIDE 34

Before the Storm

  • Store outdoor furniture and other objects that

could be damaged by storms, thrown by winds,

  • r carried away by water.
  • Cut down weakened trees that could damage

your home.

  • Take care of grading or drainage needs on your

property.

  • Inspect retaining wall drain holes, surface and

subsurface drains and yard drains for signs of

  • bstruction or malfunction.
  • Establish native plants or place other ground cover on bare ground,

slopes or freshly graded areas.

Before the Storm – Sand Bagging

  • Stage and store sand and sandbags before the

storm.

  • You can obtain sand and sandbags from the

local hardware store.

  • For information regarding how to fill a sandbag:

http://www.rcflood.org/FloodSafety.aspx

  • Sandbags will last as long as they don’t have a hole. If the bags are reusable,

residents should keep them for the next major rainstorm. To discard, distribute sand in a flower bed or over a lawn, and then throw away the empty bags.

  • It is illegal to dump sand in a stream, in the gutter, or in the storm drain

system.
