Oakland has more than 13,000 storm drains. Taking a moment to clear leaves and debris from the drain on your block can help prevent costly flooding, and frees up City crews to focus on known trouble spots. To report active flooding, dial 3-1-1 or 510-615-5566.

We heard a ton of feedback on the General Plan Update’s "Options" report. Oaklanders preferred a City of Neighborhoods with more housing, jobs, and amenities spread out across the city over transit-oriented development or concentrated waterfront development. #OaklandGeneralPlan
