B. During an actual event

1. At the initial report of a large rain event, (such as the one predicted for today), Parks and Recreation Rangers patrol the creek beds to notify individuals lodging in those areas of the pending safety hazard.
2. The city is divided into 4 storm response zones, with approximately 170 total ‘Hot Spots’. The zones and hot spots are patrolled regularly by city staff during a rain event. Hot spots are locations that have flooded in the past or are indicators of how the drainage system is performing. These zones are patrolled during regular work hours, and, if necessary, by Public Works standby staff.
3. The Police Department night shift has a list of 10 ‘Indicator sites’ with descriptions of what potential problem flow levels would be. Therefore, in addition to standby Public Works staff, they can report on how the drainage system is responding
4. The Public Works Department operates a Department Operations Center (DOC) at the Corp Yard for rain events beyond Level 0, and is in contact with the Public Works Director and City Manager regarding the need for increased mobilization.
5. All Departments are on notice and are aware of their roles and responsibilities should an event require expanded city response.
6. Public information is a high priority during an event.
