Do not drive through a flooded area. The road or bridge may be washed out. If your vehicle stalls in high water, abandon it immediately and seek higher ground. Cut off electricity, water, and gas supply. Stay away from power lines and gas leaks.
Electrical current travelling through water can lead to electrocution.
Be aware of animals, especially snakes. Small animals flooded out of their homes may seek shelter in yours. Protecting Your Property before a Flood Hazard Occurs Available Flood Insurance - Standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover a property for natural flood disasters. If your property is in a flood hazard area, you should purchase a separate policy for natural flood damage. The county participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, a federally backed flood insurance available to you.
