Flooding and Storm Damage Safety Tips for Eugene?
6/21/2022 (Permalink)
Our technicians in North Eugene and Northwest Lane County respond to storm damage emergencies in the Eugene area 24-hours a day. According to the City of Eugene, between 25 to 30 percent of flood losses occur in areas outside of high-flood-risk areas.
Here are some tips from Federal Emergency Management Agency on things you can do to stay safe during a flood:
- If told to evacuate, evacuate immediately. Never drive around barricades. Local responders use them to safely direct traffic out of flooded areas.
- Contact your health provider if you are sick and need medical attention. Wait for further care instructions and shelter in place, if possible. Call 9-1-1 if you have a medical emergency.
- Listen to EAS, NOAA Weather Radio, or local alerting systems for current information and instructions regarding flooding
- Get to the highest level if trapped in a building. Do not climb into a closed attic space and only get on the roof if necessary and once there is a signal for help.
- Stay off bridges and out of fast-moving water. Turn Around. Don’t Drown!
- Say inside your car if it is trapped in rapidly moving water. Get on the roof if water is rising inside the vehicle.
