- Check your home’s emergency supplies, and make sure all members of the household know your emergency plan.
- Stay tuned for local weather updates on the situation as it develops.
If a Flood Warning is issued, it means that dangerous flooding is expected or already happening.
- Never walk, swim, or drive through flood waters or flooded roads.
