Supervisor Zach Friend has announced there will be a El Niño Preparedness Meeting in Aptos, to be held on Thursday, October 13, 6:30 PM, at the Rio Sands Hotel, Room 116. The Department of Public Works, Office of Emergency Services, and Public Safety staff will attend to answer questions and provide tips. While a wet winter is by no means assured, there’s every indication that we’ll see rainfall this year similar to what we say in 1982-1982 and 1997-1998. If significant rainfall does come, we can expect periodic power outages, flooding, landslides, and washouts – so Aptos residents are well-advised to be prepared.
For those Aptosians who can’t make the October 13th date, there will also be a meeting in Watsonville on October 5 at 6 p.m., Civic Plaza Community Room 275 Main St., Suite 400.
