In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are 

potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded 

roads. Find an alternate route.



Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where

Please report observed flooding to local emergency services or law
