SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.



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.



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

YOUR REPORT TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE IN

MOBILE.
