(Stockton, CA) – Today at approximately 3PM, an evacuation warning was issued to the residents living on Airport Court, along the San Joaquin River, in south San Joaquin County. This is currently only a warning due to high water hazards. Reclamation districts will continue monitoring levees and address issues if they arise. 

All affected residents were contacted directly by Sheriff’s Office personnel. At this time, the warning impacts approximately 13 homes. Anyone living in or visiting the area are advised to NOT park on the levee to make sure emergency vehicles have access. The San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services and partnering agencies are closely monitoring the river water levels to determine the longevity of the warning.

Residents are asked to avoid flooded roads, remain clear of fast-moving creeks and rivers, and follow all emergency signage. When driving in the rain, always turn on your headlights.

Sandbags will remain available throughout the County.
