Listen to your local radio stations as emergency management officials will be broadcasting the most appropriate advice for your community and situation.
If you have a disability or need support, make contact with your support network.
Put your household emergency plan into action and check your getaway kit. Be prepared to evacuate quickly if it becomes necessary.
Where possible, move pets inside or to a safe place, and move stock to higher ground.
Consider using sandbags to keep water away from your home.
Lift valuable household items and chemicals as high above the floor as possible.
Fill bathtubs, sinks and storage containers with clean water in case water becomes contaminated.
Turn off utilities if told to do so by authorities as it can help prevent damage to your home or community. Unplug small appliances to avoid damage from power surges.
Do not attempt to drive or walk through floodwaters unless it is absolutely essential.
