Wildland Fire Danger: Low

Safety Tip:
Floods can happen anywhere, any time of year, but densely populated areas have a high risk for flash floods. Almost half of all flash flood fatalities are vehicle related. If you're driving and approach a water-covered road, don't take chances – turn around, don't drown! Six inches of water can be enough to stall a vehicle. Two feet can float most cars, trucks and SUVs.

Stay high and dry with these flood safety tips:

During or after heavy rains, avoid underpasses, underground parking garages, and basements.

If you're hiking or camping along a stream or river, stay alert to local weather conditions.

Develop an evacuation plan for your family. Make sure everyone knows what to do in case of flooding.

Never attempt to drive through a flooded road. And never drive around a flood barricade.

If your vehicle stalls, get out and move to higher ground.

If you're walking in water that's above your ankles, stop and turn around. You can be swept off your feet by as little as six inches of rushing water.
