How safe are the levees surrounding West Sacramento?

Our levees are stronger than they have ever been. The levees in West Sacramento are currently rated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as providing a 100-year level of flood protection. However due to new state and federal criteria, the flood control agency and state Department of Water Resources initiated studies to evaluate local levees against new criteria. The evaluation findings show that significant improvements and repairs need to take place.
