Don’t touch flood water – it may be polluted, or there may be downed power lines closeby.
Do not let someone drive through deep or fast-flowing water on a road.
Do not stay near rivers or other waterways when there has been a heavy rainfall.
Move out of low lying areas if there is a heavy rainfall.
Do not walk through fast-flowing water, even if it is only a few inches deep.
