FLOOD SAFETY PREPAREDNESS WEEK actually began on yesterday. So here are Day 1 & day 2
Day 1 Flood Safety Awareness / Make sure you know what to do before, during and after a flood.
Day 2 Turn Around, Don't Drown / Don't underestimate the power of water! It only takes 6 inches of rushing water to knock over an adult and 12 inches to carry away most cars. Ensure your safety by steering clear of floodwaters.
