Santa Rosa is the county's largest city, and its water damage calls run from burst supply lines in older central neighborhoods to storm runoff in hillside areas rebuilt after the 2017 Tubbs Fire and the 2020 Glass Fire.
Local water risks
- Post-fire runoff. The city's Rain Ready page warns that flash floods and debris flows are more likely during intense rain, and points residents to a post-fire hazard assessment map.
- Creeks and storm drains. Report stream debris to Stream Maintenance at (707) 543-3800 (after hours (707) 543-3805).
- Sewer backups. The city's sewage emergency line is (707) 543-4200, or (707) 543-3805 after hours.
- Plumbing. Water heaters, supply lines and appliance hoses cause losses in every season.
City resources
Santa Rosa residents can get free sand and bags at the Municipal Services Center North, 55 Stony Point Road, during significant rain events, with an ID showing a city address (Rain Ready).
