The images include footage shot from boats that coursed through flooded Yuba City streets and the farmlands south of the city. Radio interviews of flood survivors and emergency workers were conducted by KUBA's Dutch Klemp in the weeks following the disaster.

The purpose of the event is to make residents aware of the potential for flooding disasters so that they can be prepared. It is part of the County's Flood Aware, Flood Prepare program that coincides with September's Emergency Preparedness Month and the onset of the rainy season in October.

A meteorologist from the National Weather Service will discuss weather conditions in 1955 that contributed to the flood, which killed 38 people, injured 3,227, damaged or destroyed nearly 6,000 homes, inundated 156 square miles, and forced the evacuation of 40,000 people.

The meteorologist will also provide a long-range weather forecast for the upcoming winter in the Yuba-Sutter region.

The Sutter County Office of Emergency Management will provide important information on the various flood basins in Sutter County, how to stay informed about emergency situations, and advice on what to include in an emergency "go kit."

The Sutter County Division of Water Resources will make a presentation on flood insurance.
