Flood Information

 
Flood Safety Rules
  Flood: Floods are overflowing bodies of water. They often accompany other storms when precipitation occurs. Floods can occur at any time, but are most common during the spring when snow and ice is melting off the mountains and heavy rains. Notification of impending floods is done through warnings.

  1. Store drinking water in containers.
  2. Monitor radio and television for information.
  3. If living in low-lying areas, evacuate to higher ground as soon as possible.
  4. Turn off utilities.
  5. Keep your automobile fueled.
  6. Do not attempt to cross a flowing stream when water is above your knees, even if you are in your vehicle. The current may be strong enough to sweep you away.
