Heavy rains can cause flooding, landslides, uprooted trees and down or broken utility lines in almost any neighborhood.

During a Storm

• If water has entered a garage or basement, do not walk through it - it may contain hazardous materials

• Do not drive over a flooded road. If your car stalls, abandon it immediately. Attempting to move a stalled vehicle in flood conditions can be fatal

• Tune to local radio and TV channels for emergency advisories and instructions

• If you are asked to leave your property, disconnect all electrical appliances

• Avoid downed power lines and broken gas lines
