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.
