Safety Measures

Turn Around, Don’t Drown

Heavy rainfall can lead to flash flooding. Never drive through flooded roadways; turn around and find an alternate route. Just six inches of fast-moving water can knock over an adult, and twelve inches can carry away most vehicles.

Protecting Your Home

  1. Secure Outdoor Items: Bring in or secure outdoor furniture, decorations, and garbage cans to prevent them from being blown away or damaged by the wind.
  2. Clear Gutters and Drains: Ensure that gutters and storm drains are free of debris to prevent water from backing up and causing flooding around your home.
  3. Check for Leaks: Inspect your roof and windows for leaks and make necessary repairs to prevent water damage.

Emergency Preparedness

  • Have an Emergency Kit: Include essentials like water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, medications, and first aid supplies.
  • Stay Informed: Monitor local weather reports and alerts through your preferred news sources or weather apps.
  • Develop a Plan: Have a family emergency plan in place, including a safe place to meet and ways to communicate if you get separated.

By taking these precautions, you can help ensure the safety of yourself, your family, and your property during the upcoming stormy weather. Stay safe and stay prepared.
