Safety reminders:
- Turn Around, Don’t Drown: Never drive through flooded roads
- Don’t drive into standing water; it’s often deeper than it appears and may hide washed-out or damaged pavement
- Respect road closure signs and barricades: They are in place to keep you safe
- Slow down and increase following distance: Heavy rain reduces both visibility and stopping time
- Our crews are out 24/7 responding to reports, closing unsafe areas, and clearing what they can as conditions allow
