Did You Know: Nearly half of all people killed in floods are those who drive through flooded areas? Do NOT drive through flooded roads. Hidden dangers like downed power lines, debris and chemical leaks pose a threat to your safety.

Once it is safe to do so, check on your neighbors. Lend a helping hand where you can. Community is an important part of disaster recovery.
