Here’s what to do in case of a flood in your immediate area:

• Don’t gather on the highways just to watch the rising rivers and floods!
• Avoid traveling on back roads and pathways that are in the flood zone.
• Avoid driving your car through the rising waters: Turn around before you reach the water’s edge!
• If your home is in the flood zone, pack the immediate things you need from your home and flee to safety (a family member or friend’s house, an emergency shelter, a hotel/motel, etc.).

If you experience a flooding disaster, there are both state and community partners who can help you cover the cost of emergency housing and shelter, including residents who are inside RVs and campers. Visit The Salvation Army’s online help desk to fill out a financial assistance application.
