A coalition of residents, businesses, property owners and managers advocating the expedited repair of the levees protecting Sacramento's Natomas basin.

BACKGROUND:

Permits were granted to develop and build in Natomas based on assurances that the region had 150-200 year flood protection. In 2007, the US Army Corps of Engineers, using a new post-Katrina methdology, determined that they could not certify the Natomas basin as even having 33 year flood protection.

70,000 residents face potential loss of life and/or homelessness within hours of a catastrophic levee failure. The Natomas basin lacks adequate exit routes in the event of mass evacuations. If you are interested in working with us and our elected officials to expedite repairs to the Natomas levees, please join this group.

Membership is open to all Natomas stakeholders.
