Campground Management is usually notified at least 24 hours in advance of potential storms or high water conditions as a result of heavy rain instances. All campers and guests onsite will be notified if there is a possibility of high water conditions as soon as possible. Items you should know in the event of a flood. Know the elevation of your location in relation to nearby streams, rivers, and lakes. Have several escape routes planned. The National Weather Service continuously broadcasts updated weather conditions, warnings and forecasts on National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather radios. A NOAA radio may be purchased at radio or electronic stores. Local broadcast stations transmit Emergency Alert System messages which may be heard on standard radios. When rising water threatens, move to higher ground. If one escape route is not passable do not waste any time - try another route or back track to higher ground. Use travel routes specified by local officials. Never drive through flooded roadways. Do not bypass or go around barricades. Wear life preservers if possible.
-
If you are outdoors: Find an open area and remain there until the earthquake stops. Stay away from power poles and electrical lines, tall buildings, bridges, brick or block walls, underpasses and trees. Listen to a self contained (battery operated) radio for emergency instructions. Confine and secure all pets so they will not hamper emergency service employees in the performance of their duties. Aftershocks may occur, so be prepared. If emergency assistance is needed call 911.
