The East side of Allensworth is now flooding, forcing evacuations. This is yet another example of what results after decades of disinvestment of California's small, rural communities of color. #cawater #flooding Allensworth Progressive Association (APA)

I wrote about this a few weeks back when Gavin Newsom yanked funding for flood control projects in the SJV. There is NO overarching flood agency down here - it's a patchwork of underfunded, agencies often using volunteers and equipment on loan. sjvwater.org/funding-to-pro…
