BRIEF: 5 Flooding Facts, suggestions
1. If you live in
2. Be prepared. Stock up on the essentials in case of power outages and potential flooding risks like batteries, water bottles, canned food, sand bags, and other non perishable goods.
3. Turn around. Don't drown. Never drive through flood waters. Flooding causes more storm-related deaths than anything else. Less than two feet of moving water can wash your car off the road. Floodwaters can hide washouts.
4. Floodwater may contain sewage, sharp objects and other dangerous debris. Never swim or walk unprotected through floodwaters. Also, never allow children to play in floodwaters. Six inches of moving flood water can knock them down.
5. Know your flood zone. Visit www.santarosa.fl.gov/knowyourzone if you don't.
