Protective actions — from source
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Motorists should not attempt to drive around barricades or drive cars through flooded areas. Caution is urged when walking near riverbanks. The next statement will be issued by Tuesday morning at 1100 AM CDT.
What to do during a flood warning
Flooding is occurring or imminent. This is a slower-onset event than flash flooding but equally dangerous on the roads.
- Move valuables and people to higher floors or higher ground.
- Never drive through flooded roads. Even familiar routes become deadly when water depth cannot be judged.
- Disconnect utilities at the main switches if flooding reaches the building.
- Do not touch electrical equipment if wet or standing in water.
- Listen to local officials for evacuation orders and follow posted detours.
General guidance based on NWS, FEMA, and Ready.gov. Always follow instructions from local officials, which take precedence.
