There are few tips you need to consider during a flood watch or when there is a forecast that there will be one.- Ensure you gather your emergency supplies or items you need to meet basic needs.
- Gather important updates by listening to radio or watching television (if it is available).
- Do not stay in spaces such as low spots or underground that are subjected to flooding.
- Fill your gallons, water drums and plastic bottles with clean water, so that you can have a good supply of clean water.
- If you need to evacuate the apartment, make sure you turn off all utilities first from the main power switch.
After:
- Listen to radio to find out if the water in your area is safe for drinking and bathing.
- Discard any food or bottled water that may have come in contact with the contaminated water.
- Avoid driving through flooded areas and still water, because six inches of water can cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
