2023 Storm Events Update

Public Services Director Justin Nartker provided an update on the 2023 Storms Events, which heavily impacted the community in the first months of the new year.

Members of the Volunteer Emergency Response Team responded to 200 hours of service, which included responding to hazardous areas until professional crews were on site. Storm response required action from not only our Public Services Department, but also the Rocklin Fire Department and Police Department. Rocklin Fire responded to calls for service such as down trees, localized flooding, weather related vehicle accidents, and electrical mitigation hazard. Ongoing storm events resulted in 42 downed trees and required the use of heavy equipment in order to clear debris in the creeks.

Staff continue to work to repair damages from the 2023 storm events.
