        1. Move to higher ground immediately to avoid floodwaters.
2. Keep a battery-powered radio to receive emergency updates.
3. Avoid walking or driving through floodwaters; it can be much deeper and more forceful than it appears, and may contain hazardous debris.
4. If trapped in a building, move to the highest floor but avoid closed attics to prevent being trapped by rising floodwaters.
5. Call emergency services if you are in immediate danger and follow their instructions closely.
