Sample Tips on Flood Preparedness
- Watch and listen to broadcasts
- If a flood is predicted or is occurring, you should be alerted by local media, TV stations and radio stations.
- Clear blocked street drains
- Use a rake to pull leaves and other debris away from drains (Do not remove drain inlet grates).
- Have Disaster Supplies Kit ready
- Stock up on bottled water
- Have an adequate water supply stored in your pantry in case water service is cut off.
Flood dangers do not end when the water begins to recede. Listen to a radio or television and do not return home until authorities indicate it is safe to do so.
Remember to help your neighbour who may require special assistance - infants, elderly people and people with disabilities.
