Are You Ready for the Next Big Rainstorm in Franklin?

3/28/2023 (Permalink)

Sandbags are being used to prevent flooding. We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in Lane County.

On average, Franklin gets some kind of precipitation 151 days each year. Our local team in North Eugene and Northwest Lane County are trained and certified to mitigate and restore storm damage by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).

Flooding has been recorded in Lane County since the European arrival in 1861, with the most recent flooding event recorded in 1996. The City of Eugene provides free information regarding flood hazards for specific sites within the community and can answer many of your flood-related questions. Staff can assist with flood protection and mitigation design questions and with local flooding concerns. And they can make site visits. 

According to the National Weather Service:

  • Most flash floods are caused by slow-moving thunderstorms that repeatedly move over the same area or heavy rains from tropical storms and hurricanes
  • These floods can develop within minutes or hours depending on the intensity and duration of the rain, the topography, soil conditions, and ground cover
  • Flash floods can roll boulders, tear out trees, destroy buildings and bridges, and scour out new channels
  • Flash flooding can trigger catastrophic mudslides
