The 14th annual California Flood Preparedness Week (CFPW) will be held from October 18-25, 2025. Federal, state and local agencies will join together to inform Californians on the types of flooding that impact various communities, engage kids and adults with interactive demonstrations and exhibits, and share actions to reduce flood risk exposure.
The goals of this statewide effort are to increase public awareness of flooding and improve public safety for all Californians.
If you have questions about CFPW, contact:

1 in 5 Californians are at risk of flooding.
Every county has at least one federally declared flood disaster in the past 20 years.
Flooding is the deadliest and most expensive natural disaster and can happen at any time.
