City and county crews are preparing for possible flooding, with one of the first lines of defense against street flooding being the storm drain system. The city of Bakersfields has performed preventative maintenance ahead of winter storms, including cleaning and repairing drains.

Insurance agent Bianca Robles has warned that some areas in Kern County are more likely to require flood insurance, while homeowners in Bakersville may not be required to have it.
