        <h2>How to Self-Rescue and Seek Help</h2>
        1. Move to higher ground immediately. Stay away from floodwaters. 2. If trapped in a building, move to the highest level. Do not climb into a closed attic; you may become trapped. 3. Call emergency services to report your location. 4. Avoid walking or driving through floodwaters. Six inches of moving water can knock you down, and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away. 5. Be aware of the risk of electrocution. Do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.
