With flash floods turning deadly across the country this summer, here's what you should know to stay safe in flooding.
So, we’ve just said to stay where you are—but what if you need to evacuate? Knowing alternative routes ahead of time can help get you safely away from a flooded area, especially when a main road is unusable.

Share the information with friends and family so that they know where you’ll be headed, in case you end up needing help.
