Flood warning for DC area: FEMA flood safety tips

A flood warning has been issued for the DC Metro area AND it’s National Preparedness Month, which means we have super useful tips from our friends at FEMA on how to stay safe during a flood:

  • Do not walk through moving water. Six inches of moving water can make you fall.
  • Do not drive into flooded areas. If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground if you can do so safely.
  • A foot of water will float many vehicles.
