PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…

Keep children away from storm drains, culverts, creeks and streams. Water levels can rise rapidly and sweep children away.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.

Please report flooding to your local law enforcement agency when you can do so safely.

A Flood Advisory means river or stream flows are elevated, or ponding of water in urban or other areas is occurring or is imminent.
