Answer:
Seek higher ground. Do not wait for instructions.
Be aware of flash flood areas such as canals, streams, drainage channels.
Be ready to evacuate.
If instructed, turn off utilities at main switches and unplug appliances - do not touch electrical equipment if wet.
If you must leave your home, do not walk through moving water. Six inches of moving water can knock you off your feet. Use a stick to test depth.
Do not try to drive over a flooded road. If your car stalls, abandon it immediately and seek an alternate route.
