Bakersfield residents seek more drainage as flooding, emergency prep concerns grow
Bakersfield residents want more drainage as flooding worries grow, while go bags help neighbors prepare for emergencies. Bakersfield residents are raising concerns about flooding and the city's ability to handle severe weather. The African American Network of Kern County executive director, Dee Slade, has handed out hundreds of go-bags for emergency supplies. The bags include first-aid supplies, hygiene items, and zipper bags to protect personal documents. While these supplies help residents prepare for an emergency, they also want to see steps taken to address flooding before it worsens. City official Joe Conroy said the city has studied drainage issues in downtown Bakersfield and has implemented a storm water study in 2020 for the downtown area. The message to residents is clear: Have an emergency plan before disaster strikes.
