PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO

AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY

DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL

ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED

ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.



DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF FLOOD WATERS. ONLY A FEW INCHES OF

RAPIDLY FLOWING WATER CAN QUICKLY CARRY AWAY YOUR VEHICLE.



TO REPORT FLOODING...HAVE THE NEAREST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY RELAY

YOUR REPORT TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE IN

ALBANY.



PLEASE REPORT FLOODING TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BY EMAIL AT
