During a flood, water levels and the rate that water is flowing can change quickly. Your safety in flooded areas can be difficult to determine during the day. The safety of flooded areas at night can be impossible to see. Sign up for weather alerts today to receive advance warnings of flooding events. Stay aware during storm events and be sure to monitor local radio and television broadcasts. If you need to evacuate, avoid flood water at all costs. When water starts to rise, move to higher ground immediately. Don’t wait until it’s too late!
