How to Survive a Flash Flood on Foot
___________________________________________________________________________


  • Find a life jacket, pool toy, foam cushion, or other flotation device.
  • Run to high ground.
  • Check shallow water.
    If the water is less than 6 inches deep and not moving quickly, you should be able to walk quickly or run.
  • Move to the roof.
    If you are are trapped by rising, fast-moving water and cannot get to higher ground, get on the roof of a two- or three-story house.
  • Do not attempt to swim across floodwaters.
    Deep, quickly moving floodwaters will almost certainly overpower you and sweep you away.
