Official guidance
FEMA, Ready.gov: Floods (www.ready.gov)
- Turn Around, Don't Drown!
- Remember, just six inches of moving water can knock you down, and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away.
- Do not walk, swim or drive through flood waters.
- Stay off bridges over fast-moving water.
- Evacuate if told to do so.
- Move to higher ground or a higher floor.
