Heavy Rains

If there is any possibility of a flash flood occurring, move immediately to higher ground.

Listen to KIRO radio on 710 AM. Also listen to the NOAA weather radio.
Be aware of streams, drainage channels, and areas known to flood suddenly.
If local authorities issue a flood watch, prepare to evacuate.
Secure your home. If time permits, secure items located outside the house.
If instructed, turn off utilities at the main switches or valves.
Sterilize the bathtub and fill it with water in case water becomes contaminated or services are cut off.
Stay away from flood waters.
When deep flooding is likely, permit the flood waters to flow freely into your basement to avoid structural damage to the foundation and the house.
