Do’s and Don’ts of flooding season. 


Be cautious if hiking or camping near a stream or river.  

If you’re planning to camp or hike near a stream or river, remember that it doesn't have to rain directly over you for there to be flooding. If you notice a slight rise in water level, seek higher ground immediately. Learn more, HERE. 


Stay out of floodwaters. 

Don’t walk through or swim in flood waters. It only takes 6 inches of moving water to knock you off your feet. Moreover, flood waters can contain harmful chemicals and objects that could injure you or make you sick. Learn more, HERE.
