The National Weather Service has Dunsmuir under a Flood Warning until 4 AM Saturday (11/23), with an additional few inches of rain today. For the latest National Weather Service forecast, visit their website (link).
Some areas of town are historically at greater risk of flooding than others. To check if you are in the floodplain, visit the Dunsmuir Flood Preparedness Page (link) and click on the FEMA Flood Map Search button. That Dunsmuir Flood Preparedness Page also has historic flood pictures from the 1974 and 1964 floods. Do you recognize your street?
Even if you aren’t in the floodplain, you should consider getting flood insurance since 40% of National Flood Insurance Program claims occur outside of high-risk flood areas.
Residents are encouraged to sign up for Ready Siskiyou Alerts (link) to receive emergency notifications, like if an evacuation order were to be issued due to flooding.
