Flood Season Updates
Central Point's flood season begins around the end of October and ends around the middle of April. This season be sure to keep the following safety tips in mind. More updates will be posted in the event of a flood.
Flood Safety Tips
|
Prepare an evacuation plan. Develop a plan that includes a meeting place outside of the house, as well as an escape route to an area that is safe from floodwaters. Back-up plans are always a good idea, just in case. |
Shut off gas and electricity. Be prepared with a detailed checklist to shut off utilities. You can help prevent gas leaks and shock related deaths or injuries. |
|
Avoid walking through flowing water. Drowning is the number one cause of flood-related deaths. Currents can be deceptive. Six inches of moving water can knock an adult off their feet. |
Look out for animals, especially snakes. Small animals that have been flooded out of their homes may seek shelter in yours. Use a pole or stick to poke and turn thinks over and scare away small animals. |
| Turn around, don't drown. More people drown in their cars than anywhere else. Don't Drive around road barriers because the road or bridge may be washed out. | Look before you step. After a flood, the ground and floor are covered with debris including broken bottles, nails, and mud. Be cautious because these surfaces can be very slippery. |
| Stay away from power lines and electrical wires. Electrocution is the second greatest cause of flood-related deaths. Remember that electrical current can travel through water. Report downed power lines by calling 911. | Be alert for gas leaks. Use a flashlight to inspect for damage. Don't smoke or use candles, lanterns or open flames unless you know that the gas has been turned off and the area has been ventilated. |
