5. FLOOD EMERGENCY
a. BEFORE:
● Have disaster supplies on hand or keep them in shelter locations.
● Monitor local radio, television, internet and social media for the latest
information and updates.
● Activate alarm where applicable and announce evacuation.
NOTE: Be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice, know your routes and

destinations. Find a local emergency shelter. Know where to go and how
to get there should you need to get to higher ground, the highest level of
a building, or to evacuate. Authorities will direct you to leave if you are in
a low- lying area, or within the greatest potential path of the rising waters.
Flashfloods develop quickly. Do not wait until you see rising water.
b. DURING:
Staying Safe Indoors:
● Turn off the power and water mains if instructed to do so by local
authorities.
● Avoid contact with floodwater. It may be contaminated with sewage
or contain dangerous insects or animals.
● Continue to monitor local radio, television, internet and social media
for the latest information and updates.
● Don’t use gas or electrical equipment that has been flooded.
● Dispose of any food that comes into contact with flood water. As a
rule of thumb, do not eat any food that has come in contact with
floodwater.
Staying Safe Outdoors:

1. Don't walk or drive through floodwater. Just six inches of fast-flowing
water can knock you over and two feet will float a car.
2. If caught on a flooded road with rapidly rising waters, get out of the
car quickly and move to higher ground. Do not rely on cars or other
vehicles to protect you from floodwaters; people are most likely to
drown inside a vehicle.
3. Don’t allow children to play in or near flood water. Even shallow
standing waters holds hazards particularly for small children. Use a
pole or stick to make sure that the ground is still there before walking
through an area where the water is not flowing.
4. Avoid contact with floodwater. It may be contaminated with sewage
or contain dangerous insects or animals.
5. Stay out of areas subject to flooding. Underpasses, dips, low spots,
etc. can become filled with water.
c. AFTER:
● If evacuated, return only when authorities say it is safe to do so.
● Continue to monitor local radio, television, internet and social media
for the latest information and updates.
● Keep children and pets away from hazardous sites and floodwater.
● If power lines are down outside, do not step in puddles or standing
water. Report them immediately to the power company.
● Be aware of areas where floodwaters have receded and watch out
for debris. Floodwaters often erode roads and walkways.
Note: Keep in mind that any flooded area is prone to additional flooding.
Even a little rain can turn a once flooded area into a sudden flash flood.
Also, floodwaters may have swept debris and other hazardous materials
into an area. Look out for glass, downed power lines, ruptured gas lines,
damaged buildings, and so on. Floodwater itself can be contaminated by
gasoline, oil, sewage, or other chemicals.
