20th Century Sutter County Floods
The following video was prepared by Sutter County to show residents how extensive the flooding and damage might be if a levee broke in Sutter County today. Before starting this presentation, think about how you would get your family and your animals out before the waters rise. As the pictures progress, think about how you might need to take care of your family and animals if your home was flooded and you couldn’t return right away.
