Carson City Emergency Management
UPDATE: Carson City activated its Emergency Operations Center. Staff is now expecting rain tonight through Friday morning, with a low around 39. Winds could gust up to 45 miles per hour.
The City’s storm drain system is beyond capacity and water is running out of some of the storm drains and manholes and there is water over many of the roadways. Please avoid flooded areas and stay away from the river.
A Flood Hotline has been designated for flood related reporting and questions, which are not life-threatening. The number is (775) 887-2355 and officials ask the public to use this number instead of 9-1-1 for non-emergency flood calls. This number will be staffed all night and all day Friday.
Please be watchful of City crews working as they continue to mitigate and assess storm damage. The following roads remain closed:
• Curry Street is closed from Rhodes Street to the Shell Station, except to local business traffic.
• A 100 foot section of Combs Canyon Road that is 1/8 of a mile south of the Lakeview Road intersection- travel is reduced to one lane, please use caution and yield to oncoming traffic. Residents are advised to use the Highway 395 egress/ingress for the Lakeview subdivision.
• Musser Street between Mountain Street and Iris Street is closed due to a fallen tree.
• Center Drive between Clear Creek Avenue and Topsy Lane
Carson City Public Works encourages residents to visit www.carson.org to stay up-to-date on the weather, road closures, trail/path closures, sandbag locations and resources that are deployed across the city. Additional public information that is released will be posted to the City website flood page.
