Forestville sits on wooded ground above the Russian River. Most of town stays dry in floods, but trees and damp weather are hard on roofs, and river road closures can slow crews heading toward the river.
Forestville roof notes
- Trees: overhanging limbs, needles and leaves that clog gutters and valleys.
- Moss on shaded north-facing slopes, which holds moisture against roofing.
- Wind-driven leaks at chimneys and skylights.
- River access: neighborhoods near Mirabel and River Road are flood-prone; the County's 2019 flood after-action report notes gas service being shut off to about 250 customers there as the river rose (County of Sonoma).
