When flash flooding occurs, remember these important steps:
- Follow instructions from all emergency alerts.
- If indoors, shelter in place immediately.
- If outdoors, move to higher ground, if possible. Never enter drainage canals or culverts, even if water isn’t present.
- Never drive into flood waters. Just 6 inches of water can move a car.
Prepare an emergency go kit or a shelter in place kit that includes essential items, such as clothes, personal information, necessary medications, and emergency supplies.
