  What to Do During a Flood  
 
  • Listen to the radio or television for information.
 
 
  • Be aware that flash flooding can occur. If there is any possibility of a flash flood, move immediately to higher ground.
    Do not wait for instructions to move.
 
 
  • Be aware of streams, drainage channels, canyons, and other areas known to flood suddenly.
    Flash floods can occur in these areas with or without such typical warnings as rain clouds or heavy rain.
