PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 

deaths occur in vehicles.



Do not attempt to bypass a barricade or other road closure sign. The 

water in these areas is too deep for your car to pass safely. 

Choosing to drive into a flooded road puts your life in danger!



Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the 

dangers of flooding.
