Stay Safe in a Flood
Before
- Load a weather app on your phone or sign up for community notifications through Weld County’s Code Red website.
- Keep important documents in a water proof container
- Move valued items to higher levels and/or store in a plastic bin
- Consider installing a sump pump with a battery
During
- Listen to local weather reports
- Remember that 6 inches of water can knock over a person and 1 foot of water can move a car - turn around, don’t drown!
After
- Avoid wading through flood waters-you don’t know what may be underneath
- Keep an eye on children, especially around ponds that may not usually have water
