  • Dealing with the Weather

    Determine how best to protect yourself from high winds and flooding.

    Take refuge in a designated storm shelter, or an interior room for high winds.

    If trapped in a building by flooding, go to the highest level of the building. Do not climb into a closed attic. You may become trapped by rising flood water.

    Do not walk, swim, or drive through flood waters. Turn Around. Don’t Drown! Just six inches of fast-moving water can knock you down, and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away.Be Safe & Prepared. GetxGo

    Plan for your pet. They are an important member of your family, so they need to be included in your family’s emergency plan. 🐾
