What do during a flood
- Always obey road closure signs. Please do not drive around the closures – these areas are closed for your safety
- Never drive through a flooded area. Most cars can be carried away by less than two feet of moving water
- Don't walk or wade through flood waters. You can be knocked off your feet by as little as six inches of moving water. Additionally, downed power lines can electrify the water.
- Have your emergency supply kit ready to go if told to evacuate
- If told to evacuate, do so as soon as possible. Delays or refusal to evacuate can jeopardize your safety, the safety of emergency responders, and hinder rescue efforts
