Protect your property from flood hazards

Flooding is one of the most dangerous and costly natural hazards, and it can happen fast. One of the most important things you can do to protect yourself and your property is never to attempt to drive through floodwaters.

People often underestimate the power and depth of moving water. Just six inches of water can stall a vehicle. A foot of water can sweep a car off the road. 

Stay alert. Stay safe. When in doubt, turn around. Making the wise decision could prevent damage to your vehicle.
