There are numerous properties located within the City of Morgan Hill that have been designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). SFHAs are areas within the "100 Year Flood" boundary which have a 1% chance of being inundated in any given year.

In Morgan Hill, these SFHA's are generally located near the following major creeks:

• Corralitos
• Coyote
• Edmundson
• Foothill
• Llagas
• Maple
• Paradise
• Tennant
• West Little Llagas

Please view our Annual Flood Report (PDF) that also has a local map showing the location of the SFHA's.

Sand Bag Stations In Morgan Hill
The rain is on its way! As we enter the rainy, winter season, we have sand and empty bags available for residents. Please note that our sandbag location at Edes Court has been relocated to the Community Park parking lot this year. Remember to bring your own shovel. Sand bag supplies are removed when rainy weather subsides.

In addition, Valley Water supplies a similar sand bag station on Old Monterey Road near the El Toro Fire Station. Valley Water's Flooding & Safety webpage includes a map to check locations for other sand bag sites in the greater South County area.
