Storm surge
During a storm surge:
- Stay inside where you are protected from the water. It's best to be on the downwind side of the house, away from windows.
- Monitor the storm's progress and listen for warnings or instructions from local officials.
- Before driving anywhere, listen carefully to rescue officials who will be coordinating evacuation plans.
- If you start moving downward with the avalanche, stay on the surface using a swimming motion.
- Do not drive through flood waters.
- Be aware of risks such as hypothermia from cold water or drowning from running water.
