📋 Official instructions
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. In hilly or mountainous terrain there are numerous low water crossings which are potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads. Find an alternate route. Both localized and distant heavy rainfall will create sudden and dangerous flows in arroyos and over low water crossings.📄 Message details
