During a FLOOD be sure to:

  • Move to a safe area quickly
  • Move to a higher ground, like the highest floor of your home.
  • Avoid areas subject to sudden flooding like low spots and canyons.
  • Avoid already flooded areas.  If a flowing stream of water is above your ankles stop, turn around and go the other way.
  • Do not attempt to drive through a flooded road.  The depth of the water is not obvious and the road may be washed away.
  • If your car stalls, leave it and seek higher ground.  Rapidly rising water may engulf the car, pick it up and sweep it away.
  • Kids should never play around high water, storm drains or viaducts.
  • Be cautious at night, because it’s harder to see flood dangers.
  • If told to evacuate, do so immediately.
