Flash Flood Safety: Do Not Drive into Water


Water is at high levels and the rate of water flowing can quickly change.

When flooded, turn around, don't drown.
  1. Get to higher ground: get out of the areas subject to flooding
  2. Do not drive or walk into flooded areas. It only takes 6: of water to knock you off your feet
  3. Stay informed. Monitor local conditions via weather radio, or social media for updates
We're here if you need us. Please don't hesitate to call 911 in an emergency, and dispatch for non-emergencies at 303-441-4444.
