What To Do?
Flood Watch:
Move valuable household possessions to the upper floors of your home.
Fill your car’s gas tank in the event an evacuation order is issued.
Flood Warning:
Tune in for information and advice to local radio and TV stations.
When told to evacuate, do so as quickly as possible.
Flash Flood Watch:
Watch for signs of flash flooding and be ready to evacuate on a moment’s notice.
Flash Flood Warning:
If you believe flash flooding has begun, evacuate immediately because you may have only seconds to escape.
Move to higher ground and away from rivers, streams, creeks and storm drains.
Do not drive around barricades. These are placed to keep you out of harm’s way.
If your car stalls in rising waters, get out immediately and find higher ground.
