Flood Watch

If you are under a flood watch or warning:

• Gather the emergency supplies you previously stocked in your home and stay tuned to local radio or television station for updates.

• Turn off all utilities at the main power switch and close the main gas valve if evacuation appears necessary.

• Have your immunization records handy or be aware of your last tetanus shot, in case you should receive a puncture wound or a wound becomes contaminated during or after the flood.

• Fill bathtubs, sinks and plastic soda bottles with clean water. Sanitize the sinks and tubs first by using bleach. Rinse and fill with clean water.

• Bring outdoor possessions, such as lawn furniture, grills and trash cans inside or tie them down securely.
