Stay Safe Eldersburg
Rain doesn’t sound too dangerous but when you start your travels to work, friends houses, or even the grocery store the rain can definitely affect the commute.
Here’s a couple of flood tips, courtesy of FEMA:
- Don’t walk or drive through any flood waters. How much water do you think can move a vehicle? Only a foot, isn’t that shocking.
- Avoid bridges, especially those crossing moving water. Water rises very fast and floods over the bridges quickly.
- Listen to any and all emergency advice from officials, they update their social media accounts frequently.
- Stock up on emergency supplies prior to the storm. Supplies such as: food, water, batteries, blankets, radios, etc.
- Develop an evacuation plan for yourself and your family, know what you will do when disaster strikes.
