PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

The saturated ground has produced conditions ripe for landslides and
debris flows on steep slopes around the area. Residents with homes
on or at the base of hillsides should be aware of the potential for
landslides and watch for trees leaning in unusual orientations,
water and mud seepage where not expected and other signs of
potential ground movement.

Report flooding to the National Weather Service by calling toll
free, 800 401 9535, when you can do so safely.
