Flood Safety

Flood safety involves being aware of flood risks, monitoring forecasts, and preparing accordingly. During a flood, seek higher ground, avoid driving or walking through floodwaters, and stay away from electrical sources. Keep emergency supplies ready and listen to official alerts or evacuation orders. After a flood, check for damage carefully before re-entering buildings, avoid contaminated water, and report hazards. Planning in advance, staying informed, and acting quickly can significantly reduce risks and protect lives during flooding events.
