What to do during a flood warning

• If advised to evacuate, do so immediately.
• Use a battery-operated radio or television to get the latest emergency information.
• Do not walk through floodwater. Just six inches of floodwater can sweep you off your feet if it is moving swiftly.
• Turn around, don’t drown; do not drive into a flooded street. Cars can be swept away by two feet of moving water or there may be unseen damage to the road. If you come to a flooded area turn around and go another way. Most flood-related deaths are caused by people driving through water.
• Watch out for fire hazards.
• Move to higher ground.
• Stay alert, turn weather notifications on.
• Do not allow children to play in flowing water. Waters can hide rocks, trees and debris.
