Staying Safe During Heavy Rain
- Stay Informed: Check local weather reports and news updates before heading out.
- Avoid Flooded Roads: Never drive or walk through water when you cannot see the road surface. Just a few inches of moving water can sweep away a car or person.
- Secure Outdoor Items: Put away patio furniture or loose objects that strong winds and heavy downpours can turn into dangerous projectiles.
- Protect Your Basement: Ensure your sump pump and downspouts work properly to direct water away from your home’s foundation.
- Maintain Health Safety: Stay away from contaminated floodwater and wear protective gear like rubber boots if cleaning up wet areas.
