Do not drive through a flooded area. More people drown in their cars than anywhere else. The road or bridge may be washed out. Stay away from power lines and electrical wires. The second leading cause of death during a flood event is electrocution.
Electric current can run through water - beware.
Turn off electrical power through the Power Company . Some appliances retain electrical charges even after the power is shut off. Avoid all electrical appliances. Be aware of small animals . Small animals get displaced during flood events.
