Floods

• If you have time, bring in outdoor or garden furniture. You should also move important things to a second story.
  
  
• Stay away from flood water. It may be contaminated (contain dangerous substances).
  
  
• Do not walk through moving water. It can knock you off your feet. If you must walk through water, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to test the ground in front of you.
  
  
• Stay away from power lines that are on the ground. You could be electrocuted.
  
  
• Always keep your battery-powered radio with you so you know what is happening.
  
  
• If you are scared, share your fears with an adult. Floods can be scary, but remember -- the water ALWAYS goes away!
