PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------

Follow the advice of local officials.

emergency. Be patient and helpful with those you encounter.
Rising flood waters are deadly. If you are in a flood-prone
area, consider moving to higher ground. Never drive through a
flooded roadway. Remember, turn around don't drown!
If in a place that is vulnerable to high wind, such as near large
trees, a manufactured home, upper floors of a high-rise building, or
on a boat, consider moving to a safer shelter before the onset of
strong winds or flooding.
Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather radio or local news outlets
for official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible changes

warnings.
