Elevate Important Items: To prevent water damage, move valuable items, electronics, and important documents to higher ground or upper floors.

Seal Entry Points: Use waterproof materials such as plastic sheeting, sandbags, or towels to seal doors, windows, and other openings to prevent water from entering your property.

Clear Drainage Systems: Remove debris from gutters, downspouts, and drains to ensure that water can flow freely away from your property and prevent flooding.

Turn Off Utilities: Shut off electricity, gas, and water supplies to your property to reduce the risk of electrical hazards, gas leaks, and water damage.

Seek Higher Ground: If flooding is imminent and evacuation is impossible, move to the highest point in your home or business to stay safe until help arrives.

Remember, flash flooding can be unpredictable and dangerous. Stay informed about weather conditions, heed evacuation orders, and prioritize your safety. With quick thinking and decisive action, you can help minimize the impact of flash flooding on your property.
