The state of Vermont has declared a flood warning and advises everyone to use the following safety tips: 

 

Flood preparation/response tips:

  • Never drive or walk through floodwaters.  Unseen washouts or unexpectedly fast running water can carry away an automobile.  Floodwaters also often contain contaminants like wastewater, fuel, or other harmful liquids and solids.
  • Monitor radio, television, and newspapers as well as web sites for flood warnings.
  • Move any vehicles or equipment like lawn mowers or tractors to higher ground.  Flooded vehicles pollute the water with fuel.
  • If you do evacuate your home, turn off your circuit breaker before you leave and have your home's electrical system inspected by a professional before you return.
