Quick Storm Preparation Tips

• Check roof drains and downspouts to make sure they are clear of debris.
• Keep children away from creeks and large drains which can be deadly during storms.
• Keep leaves and yard trimmings out of storm drains and gutters.
• Don’t forget your pets, and don’t forget to pick up pet waste to prevent water pollution.
• Turn off automatic sprinklers.
• Don’t store hazardous materials in areas that may be subject to flooding.
• Store emergency supplies (first aid kit, essential medicines, cash, food, non-electric can opener, portable battery-operated radio, flashlights and spare batteries) in air-tight bags and in handy locations.
• Keep your car fueled. If electric power is cut off, filling stations may not be able to operate.
