Flooding Tips and Resources

What to do to prepare for High Winds

To prepare for a possible power outage, make sure cell phone batteries are charged, gather supplies, and turn refrigerators and freezers to a colder setting
If you are a property owner, builder, contractor, and/or crane operator, secure your construction sites, buildings, and equipment
Bring inside loose, lightweight objects such as lawn furniture, potted plants, garbage cans, garden tools, and toys
Anchor objects that would be unsafe outside, such as gas grills or propane tanks
Close up and secure patio umbrellas
Secure retractable awnings

What to do to prepare for Flash Flooding

Be alert to changing weather conditions and be ready to move to higher ground
Consider postponing outdoor activities
Tie down or bring in outdoor objects (patio furniture, children's toys, trash cans, etc.) that could be swept away or damaged during flooding
Consider unplugging sensitive electronic equipment before flooding occurs. But, do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water
Elevate items stored in your basement to prevent damage. If you have a sump pump, check that it is working
Consider clearing street catch basins to prevent or reduce street flooding
Avoid camping or parking along streams, rivers, creeks, or other areas prone to flooding during heavy rainfall as these areas can flood rapidly and with little warning
