What to do During a Flood

ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS

• If you smell gas or if your natural gas equipment is visibly damaged, call the emergency services number for your natural gas provider.
• If you are using a generator, follow the instructions for its installation and use.

EVACUATION AND TRAVEL

• Evacuate your home if the water level requires you to leave or the authorities order you to evacuate. Pack a few essential items such as warm clothing and waterproof gear if it is raining. 
• Avoid walking and driving on flooded streets.  Abandon your vehicle if the engine stalls.
• Check the road conditions before setting out
• Advise municipal officials how to reach you if you are not going to a municipal shelter.

COMMUNICATIONS

• Keep in touch with your loved ones through brief telephone conversations so as to not overload the telephone systems.
• If possible, communicate via text messages and social media and carefully monitor the battery level on your mobile device.
