PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 

deaths occur in vehicles.



Life-threatening flooding of creeks, roads and normally dry washes 

is likely. Additional heavy rains may trigger rockslides, mudslides 

and debris flows in steep terrain, especially in and around these 

areas.



Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where 

you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become 

killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or 

creeks.
