Be safe during a Flood

Hopefully, you never have to experience a flood firsthand. But if you do, there are a few things you can do to stay safe.

When a flood warning is issued, heed official instructions.

Don’t walk through a flooded area. Just six inches of moving water can knock you down.

Don’t drive through a flooded area. Just two feet of water can lift and move a car, even an SUV. More people drown in their cars than anywhere else during a flood.

Keep away from downed power lines and any other electrical wires—electrocution is often a major cause of death in floods.

Watch out for animals who have lost their homes during a flood. Animals may seek shelter in your home and aggressively defend themselves.
