Spring Weather & Seasonal Flooding Tips

What You Should Know About Flood Safety

• Make a family emergency communication plan and include pets.
• Have emergency supplies in supplies in place at home, at work, and in the car.
• Check on your neighbors to make sure they’re okay.
• Know what to do before, during, and after a flood.
• Flood insurance takes 30 days to take effect, so purchase now to protect your family.
• Listen to local officials by radio, TV or social media
• Evacuate when advised by authorities or if you are in a flood or flash flood prone area.
• If you are on high ground above flooded areas, being prepared to stay where you are may be the best protection.
• Never drive or walk through flooded streets; Turn Around, Don’t Drown! Do not go through flood waters.

Basic Safety Tips

• Turn Around, Don’t Drown!
• Avoid walking or driving through flood waters.
• Do not drive over bridges that are over fast-moving floodwaters. Floodwaters can scour foundation material from around the footings and make the bridge unstable.
• Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away.
• If there is a chance of flash flooding, move immediately to higher ground.
• If floodwaters rise around your car but the water is not moving, abandon the car and move to higher ground. Do not leave the car and enter moving water.
• Avoid camping or parking along streams, rivers, and creeks during heavy rainfall. These areas can flood quickly and with little warning.
