What You Need to Know About Flooding!

Be Prepared for a Flood!
Entering floodwaters could result in injury or death. A flood is a temporary overflow of water onto land that is normally dry and can occur slowly over many days or happen very quickly.
Protect yourself by:
- Signing up to receive emergency alerts.
- Staying off bridges over fast-moving water.
- Turn around, don't drown! Don't walk, swim or drive through floodwaters.
- Move to higher ground or a higher floor to stay above floodwaters.
Also, know your area's type of flood risk and pay attention to weather reports and local news updates. Visit Ready.gov/floods and use FEMA's "A Guide for Alerts and Warnings" at https://go.dhs.gov/3nN for more information on flood watches and warnings.
Let your voice be heard.
