#ChefsForCalifornia: WCK’s Emergency Response is underway as another storm is expected
In the span of several weeks, California has been battered by a series of atmospheric rivers that have brought in over 24 trillion gallons of water. For some towns, the start of 2023 has been wetter than all of 2022, and up in the Sierra Nevadas where colder weather triggers snow, many areas have surpassed last season’s total snowfalls.
The damage from the storms is widespread but primarily focused in the northern part of the state. And although some communities may have received minimal disruptions, there is concern for the future as two more storms are forecasted—in many of these areas soil is oversaturated and rivers are beyond their peak. The new storms can pile on to the destruction, power outages, and further isolate communities.
