Many emergencies can happen quickly. If someone is missing check the water first!

Additional tips: FLOODING

If there is a chance of flash flooding, move immediately to higher ground.

If floodwaters rise around your car but the water is not moving, abandon the car and move to higher ground. DO NOT leave the car and enter moving water.

Avoid camping or parking along streams, rivers, and creeks during heavy rainfall. These areas can flood quickly and with little warning.

Additional Tips: SWIMMING

Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards.

Always swim with a buddy; do not allow anyone to swim alone.

Ensure that you know how and when to call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number.

Have appropriate equipment, such as reaching or throwing equipment, a cellphone, life jackets and a first aid kit easily accessible.
