🧰 What to do

Before

•Know if you're in a flood zone and your evacuation route
•Move valuables and chemicals to higher floors
•Consider flood insurance — standard policies don't cover floods

During

•Turn Around, Don't Drown — never drive through flooded roads
•6 inches of moving water can knock you down; 1 ft floats a car
•Move to higher ground; avoid basements and underpasses

After

•Avoid floodwater — it may hide debris, sewage, or live wires
•Don't use wet electrical devices before inspection
•Photograph damage; discard food touched by floodwater
