A FLASH FLOOD WATCH means flooding is possible. Be on the alert and move any property to higher ground.

A FLASH FLOOD WARNING means flooding is being reported or is imminent. You should take necessary precautions, as you may only have seconds.

If you are out on the road during a flooding event you should:

• Avoid running water
• Watch for water over the road
• Drive with care, especially at night
• NEVER go through barricades
• Prepare to move to higher ground
