WHAT TO DO DURING A FLOOD
Keep your
Disaster Supply Kit handy so you can grab it and go in case you must evacuate suddenly.
Don’t underestimate the power of floodwaters. They can move swiftly, often faster than they appear. They are very dangerous. A car will float in only a few inches of swiftly moving water.
Never allow children to play near floodwaters.
Adults are also at risk. As little as six inches of moving water can knock an adult off their feet.
If you become stranded by floodwaters and must escape, wear a life jacket. In some situations, it may be safer to climb onto a rooftop or into a tree and wait for rescue.
