• Six inches of water will stall or cause control issues in most passenger vehicles
• A foot of water will float many passenger vehicles
• Two feet of rushing water can carry away most passenger vehicles including, SUVs and pick-ups
• Never attempt to drive through a flooded road; depth is not always obvious, and the roadbed may be washed away under the surface
• Do not drive around barricades
• Do not try to take short-cuts, and stick to designated evacuation routes
• Avoid driving at night when it is harder to recognize flood dangers
