Answer:

When Outside --

  • Avoid areas subject to sudden flooding.
  • If you are caught outdoors during a heavy rain and flood climb to high ground and stay there.
  • Stay back from rushing water, as during flash floods water can increase suddenly.
  • If you come upon a flowing stream where water is above your ankles, STOP! Turn around and go another way.
  • Don't walk through flooded areas.
  • As little as six inches of moving water can knock you off your feet.
  • Children should NEVER play around high water, storm drains, viaducts, or arroyos.
  • Stay away from downed power lines and electrical wires.
  • Electrocution is another major source of deaths in floods. Electric current passes easily through water.

Outside Your Home --

  • Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance -- infants, elderly people, and people with disabilities.
  • Before entering a building, inspect foundations for cracks or other damage.
  • Do not go in if there is any chance of the building collapsing.
  • Be careful walking around.
  • After a flood, steps and floors are often slippery with mud and covered with debris, including nails and broken glass.
  • If your home, apartment or business has suffered damage, call the insurance company or agent who handles your flood insurance policy right away to file a claim.

Preparedness --

  • Take steps to reduce your risk of future floods.
  • Follow local building codes and ordinances when rebuilding.
  • Use flood-resistant materials and techniques to protect yourself and your property from future flood damage.
  • Check with your local fire department for additional preparedness tips.
