Prepare for: Severe Weather & Flooding
Make decisions early using official local warnings and a practiced household plan.
Choose a destination
Identify local evacuation routes and a safe destination with your household. Include accessible transport, pets, medications, identification and a go-bag. Save routes and contact details for use without cellular service.
Follow local instructions
Check the issuing authority, affected area and expiry time of each warning. Never walk or drive through floodwater. Keep away from damaged electrical infrastructure and arrange qualified inspections before reconnecting affected equipment.
Protect indoor air
Plan a cleaner indoor space for wildfire particulates and choose equipment appropriate to the hazard. Particulate filters do not protect against every gas or chemical; follow official shelter or evacuation directions.
Adapt these planning steps to your location and needs. Follow official local advice and qualified professional guidance.
