2026 El Niño storm preparedness and local emergency
San Leandro
Summary
Forecasts suggest this winter's Super El Niño could be significantly worse than the 2022-23 storms. Declaring a local emergency lets the city start prep work now — tree trimming, storm drains, flood barriers — and seek FEMA reimbursement. The county hasn't declared its own emergency yet.

Impact analysis
Prep costs aren't totaled yet — some work gets moved up from spring plans, some is new — but the city hopes FEMA reimbursement will cover much of it.
Everyone in flood-prone areas, especially shoreline neighborhoods, gets faster prep and potentially reimbursed protection work.
