Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) Acting Director Matthew W. Garbark asks residents to stay alert as heavy rain is expected to hit the Baltimore area tomorrow, Thursday, April 30.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for the Baltimore-Washington region starting at 4 a.m. Thursday and continuing through 10 p.m., with wind gusts as high as 29 mph.  

City crews are taking preparedness actions early to clear storm drains before the expected strong winds and heavy rains arrive. If you are able to clear storm drains around your property of debris, please do so to prevent flooding. If you experience a basement backup of sewage, please call 311 to report it immediately. (For additional information on responding to sewage backups, please review the following DPW documents: Handling Sewage Backups, Understanding and Preventing Sewage Backups, and the Sewage Backup Expedited Reimbursement Program.) 

Leaves can become a source of storm inlet blockage. Sweeping leaves and trash from sidewalks, alleys and gutters will keep this material out of the drains. Please do not park on top of storm inlets.

Trash and loose debris should be secured at all times. Loose material can end up entering and clogging storm drains, leading to flooding. Please secure large items such as trash cans and lawn furniture.

Be aware of possible rising water along streams and in low-lying areas. Blocked storm drains may increase the potential for flooding at these locations.
