Current models show the City of Bristol could receive 2-6 inches of rain during this event. Residents are encouraged to be prepared for the loss of electrical power and possible localized flooding. A list of streets in the City of Bristol that are located within or along the flood plain is at the end of the press release.
Residents and property owners that live or work on streets located within the floodplain need to be vigilant during this weather event. It may be necessary to require mandatory evacuations at some point during the weather event. If mandatory evacuations are ordered, we ask that you cooperate with authorities during the evacuation period.
