Rain Safety Tips


  • Follow all instructions from emergency crews and alerts.


  • Make sure your car is ready for the rain. check tires, brakes, and wipers. Drive slowly and be careful; roads may be slippery.


  • Do not try to cross flooded roads or walk through moving water. Just 6 inches of water can knock you over, and 18–24 inches can carry away most cars and trucks. Turn around, don’t drown!


  • Stay away from flood channels, basins, and riverbeds.


  • Keep at least 100 feet away from downed power lines or wires, and call 911 to report them.
