It is common to see a storm with heavy down pours of rain causing flooding in the most protected neighborhoods. Do you know what to do during a flood? SERVPRO of Victoria has a few tips for you to follow in case an event was to happen:

• Be prepared, create an evacuation plan
• Learn and identify different evacuation routes to be able to evacuate quickly
• If public transportation is relied on, contact the local emergency management for evacuation information
• Turn Around, Don't Drown! ® Moving water above two feet can knock you down; one foot of water can move vehicles away
• Move to higher ground if there is a chance of flash flooding
• Driving during high rain falls can be extremely dangerous. Stay update by checking service announcements through the National Weather Service.
