(New York, NY) — The tri-state got his with tons of rain Monday night, creating flooding throughout the area, especially in parts of New Jersey. Before flooding even happens, experts say you should make a plan on how to communicate with your family. In addition, they say you should check out your home and evaluate possible flood risks to your home.
There should also be a prepared “go bag” that’s packed with supplies, water and shelf-stable food. As bad weather approaches, and during a flood, pay attention to local weather alerts on your smartphone, radio and TV. Officials say remember the expression, “Turn around. Don’t Drown.” It takes just six inches of fast-moving water to knock you off your feet. Authorities say nearly half of all flash flood deaths are vehicle related.
