Flash Floods - Card "C"
Calling from a flooding house or building.

Q1: Where are you calling from?
Q2: Is the structure on fire, or collapsing?
Q3: Are there sparking utility outlets?

If there IS a fire danger, or threat of structural collapse:

Tell the caller...
  • We are sending the fire department. Evacuate the structure immediately.
  • If the water in the street outside your house is deeper than a foot, do not attempt to drive away.
  • If the water outside your house is deeper than 3 feet and/or seems to be rising or flowing fast, take a flotation device (such as a couch cushion) with you when you leave. Take one device for each person leaving.
  • Make sure that pets are free to swim with you, but do not attempt to carry larger pets, you could both lose your lives.
If there is NO danger of fire or structural collapse:
