Emergency Procedures

STORM & FLOODING PROCEDURES

Winter rains can cause floods, landslides, uprooted trees, and downed or broken utility lines in almost any neighborhood.

During the Storm:

1. If water has entered a garage or basement, do not walk through it – it may contain hazardous materials.

2. Do not try to drive over a flooded road. If your car stalls, abandon it immediately. Attempting to move a stalled vehicle in flood conditions can be fatal.

3. Tune to local Radio and TV channels for emergency advisories and instructions.

4. If you are asked to leave your dorm or office, disconnect all electrical appliances.

5. Avoid downed power lines and broken gas lines.
