All residents should remember the following in the event of a flood.

(1) Do not walk through flowing water during a flood. Drowning is the number one cause of flooding death. Currents can be deceptive and move faster then anticipated.
(2) Do not drive through flooded areas. Driving in flooded areas is not recommended. The same can lead to vehicle damage, personal injury and even death in severe instances.
(3) Stay away from power lines and electrical wires. The number two killer regarding floods is electrocution. Electrical current can travel through water. Report any downed power lines to the appropriate electric company.
(4) Have your utilities turned off. If you know a flood is coming, you should shut off the gas and electricity and move valuable contents upstairs. This includes any such contents which are currently in a garage which also may be subject to flooding. It is wise to keep a detailed check list of things to do which would easily be available during and prior to emergency weather conditions. Some appliances, such as television sets, keep electrical charges even after they have been unplugged. Don't use appliances or motors that have gotten wet unless they have been dried and certified as usable. You should also be alert for gas leaks. Use a flashlight to inspect for damage immediately after a flood. Don't smoke or use candles or other open flame unless you know the gas has been turned off in the area in question and said area is vented properly.
