Recommendations

Move the essentials to the highest floors, close the electricity and gas mains and follow the instructions of the authorities in case of evacuation.

Decrease speed
Drive, preferably, by main roads and motorways.
Do not drive into flooded areas, or stop in areas where large amounts of water can flow.
Leave the car and look for higher ground if you become sorrounded by a stream of whater. Do not attempt to save your car in the middle of a flood.
Do not park your vehicle in flood-prone areas because you could be swept away by the force of the water.

Move away from rivers, streams, and low-lying areas of slopes and hills, avoid crossing flooded fords.
Go to the highest points in the area.
