Flooding Safety Tips
El Paso Fire Officials would like to offer these safety tips:
- Head to higher ground if flooding is suspected.
- Avoid walking in areas with rapid flowing water-it takes only 6 inches to be swept of your feet.
- Never let children play in flooded areas; flooded areas hide hidden hazards, eg. Sink holes.
- Never drive through flowing water- it takes only 2 feet of flowing water to float away most cars.
- If your vehicle stalls; leave immediately and seek higher ground.
Also sandbags are available at all Fire Stations and are free to the public.
