With storms moving into East Montgomery County yet again, officials and citizens are preparing for whatever mother nature has in store.
Some things to keep in mind:
[b]- Stay put and avoid driving; go to and stay at a safe location.
- Park your car in your driveway, not in the street
- Do not drive through floodwaters, Turn Around Don't Drown!
- Never drive around barricades! Avoid underpasses and low-lying areas
- If water is rising inside your vehicle, seek refuge on top; if your vehicle is sinking, get out
- If trapped in a building, go to its highest level
- If your home is flooding, do not climb into a closed attic because you may get trapped there
- Have a way to get emergency alerts; listen to authorities for information and instructions
- Avoid wading in floodwater; it can contain dangerous debris, contamination, wildlife or downed power lines
- Use a generator or other gasoline powered machinery only outdoors and away from windows
- In the event of a life threatening emergency, please contact 9-1-1.
