Information & Recommendations
Stay vigilant and alert to your surroundings and changing conditions.
Do not walk, swim, or drive through flood waters. Turn Around, Don’t Drown!
If your vehicle is trapped in rapidly moving water, stay inside. If water is rising inside the vehicle, seek refuge on the roof.
Stay off of bridges over fast-moving water.
Learn and practice evacuation routes, shelter in place, and flood response.
Make sure your Go Bag is ready in case you have to leave immediately.
Evacuate if told to do so.
Keep in mind medication needs. Don’t forget the needs of pets.
Locate backup batteries and charging devices for phones, radios, and other emergency equipment.
Keep important documents in a waterproof container.
If flooding begins on your property, move to higher ground. If trapped in a building, then go to its highest level. Do not climb into a closed attic. Go on the roof only if necessary
