Common Emergencies in Fresno

Fresno sits on the floor of the San Joaquin Valley where the Kings River and San Joaquin River watersheds collect runoff from the entire western Sierra Nevada. Atmospheric river events in 2017 and 2023 caused widespread flooding across Fresno's low-lying central and southwest neighborhoods. The city's adobe-like clay soils become saturated quickly and hold water for days after storm events end, creating prolonged foundation seepage and perimeter flooding

  • San Joaquin Valley atmospheric river flooding through low-lying southwest and central neighborhoods
  • Clay soil saturation causing prolonged foundation seepage after every major storm event
  • Aging supply lines and water heaters in 1950s-1970s ranch home housing stock
  • Storm drain backflow through floor drains in below-grade garages and basements
  • Irrigation system failures affecting slab foundations on expansive clay soils
