Avoid flood waters

  • NEVER drive through flood waters. It's dangerous for you, and your vehicle, and can push water into nearby homes and businesses.
  • If water rises around your car, abandon the car immediately.

Report flooding

  • Call 911 to report street flooding and life-threatening emergencies.
