NH officials have shared safety tips for people in an area that receives a flash flood warning.
New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu on Sunday urged people in the state to stay vigilant amid the risks.
“More flooding is expected with this most recent round of rain. It’s important that residents and visitors remain safe,” Sununu said in a statement. “We all need to do our part to stay vigilant. If you are able to, avoid areas that are prone to flooding. If a Flash Flood Warning happens where you are, get to higher ground immediately.”
“Residents and visitors need to pay attention to local weather forecasts,” said Robert Buxton, director of the New Hampshire Department of Safety’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, in the statement. “If flooding occurs, know what to do to keep you and your family safe. If you are visiting an unfamiliar area, make sure you know where there is high ground. Most flood deaths happen in vehicles. Never drive through flooded roadways.
Avoid floodwaters as they may be contaminated by oil, gasoline, or raw sewage. Water may also be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines.
