What Happens If The Levees Break In Sacramento?

Posted on November 6th, 2009 in New Orleans by larryferlazzo

Go to  Sacramento Flood Maps. Click on the “Rescue” maps for the area you live in (probably either South Sacramento or The Pocket).

The areas in red will flood immediately. People who live in the yellow area will have a little time to escape.

Which color area is your home located in? What would you take with you if you only had a few minutes to escape the flood? Why?

The road in green are the safe ways to leave. Which road would you take?

If members of your family were in different places when the flood began, do you have a place where you would meet?

Watch this animation of Sacramento being flooded.

    The color area my home is located in is white.
    I would just take what i need in order to survive such as clothes and food.
    I would take the road that I can get to the fastest.
    Probably at another relatives house.

    My color house is white and tanish . If Sacramento really flooded , i would take nothing but my family (:
    I wouldn’t know where to leave but swim for my life also don’t panic too, it’ll be a lot worst if you panic. If my family member are in different place, I wouldn’t know where to meet up with them but find them.

    I’d take the essential things like valuables and food/money, maybe some papers, then I’d quickly escape with my family.
