Walnut Grove Flood Fight Training Set for November 17 at River Road Yard

WALNUT GROVE, SACRAMENTO COUNTY — November 7, 2026. A practical Flood Fight Training session is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Walnut Grove Flood Yard, 14143 River Road.

Who is leading the training?

The program is organized by Tule Engineering and combines classroom instruction with hands-on practice. The listing says participants will learn basic techniques used when communities prepare for or respond to flood threats.

Why the Delta needs preparation

Walnut Grove and nearby Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta communities depend on levees, waterways and drainage systems. Seasonal high water can create hazards even before a serious levee problem develops. Training can help volunteers and responsible agencies understand useful procedures, but it is not a substitute for official emergency direction during a real event.

How to prepare

Organizers recommend comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. Interested participants should confirm registration requirements, remaining capacity and any cost through the organizer’s event information page. The training’s date is announced in advance; it should not be represented as a course already completed or as evidence that an emergency is currently underway.
