Teach children how to call 911 in an emergency. Call 911 for any flood emergencies. Stay away from the banks of flooded washes and rivers. Do not attempt to walk or drive across flooded washes or streams. Never drive around or cross barricaded street dip sections.
More people drown in their cars than anywhere else.
Flood dangers do not end when water begins to recede. Stay clear of disaster areas. Check for structural damages before entering a building. Turn off the electricity before entering a flood-damaged building. Be alert for gas leaks and use a flashlight to inspect for damage.
