Notify the neighborhood of Flood Warnings earlier. No question in my mind there was a failure of some kind. Well have plenty of time for monday morning quarterbacking in the days ahead. Right now we have to do everything we can to get people out. It will take a couple days for this neighborhood to drive out and before anybody can go back in, Structural Engineers will have to come check out the buildings to make sure theyre safe and then the cleaning begins. It will take long process to decontaminate all these homes. Michelle roberts, nbc bay area news.

As the water spilled in from coyote creek, it was cold and murky. It became a noxious stew of sewage, dirty diapers, and engine oil. Once on land the victims were decontaminated with soap and water.

Priority one is assessing when conditions are safe for residents to return home. Its nagging on the minds of every city official how this catastrophic flood didnt happen the way they thought it would, even after a week of planning. The rock springs neighborhood wasnt supposed to flood like this or at all. We need to figure out what went on, blockages, what were the irk us that contributed to the channel.
