🚨🌧️ FLOOD WARNING – VERDE VALLEY 🌧️🚨
Well, the Verde Valley has certainly seen its fair share of rain over the last 24 hours! With continued rainfall, rising waters, and flooding throughout the area, we are asking everyone to PLEASE use extra caution.
Verde Valley Ambulance Company is currently providing mutual aid to surrounding agencies as they respond to numerous water rescues. Multiple communities, roadways, parks, and homes are experiencing flooding due to rising washes, creeks, and waterways. Several communities are also under GO evacuation orders.
Rain is expected to continue through tonight, and conditions can change quickly. Please take these warnings seriously and prioritize your safety!
⚠️ FLOOD SAFETY REMINDERS:
* TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN! Never drive, walk, or swim through flooded roadways.
* Never drive around barricades or road closure signs.
* Avoid washes, creeks, rivers, and low-lying areas, even if water levels appear low.
* Move to higher ground immediately if you are in an area experiencing flooding.
* If you are trapped by rising water, get to the highest safe location possible, such as an upper floor or roof, and call 911.
* Do not attempt to walk or drive through moving water. Even shallow water can sweep you away.
* Stay informed and follow all evacuation orders and instructions from emergency personnel.
* Keep children and pets away from flooded areas.
* Never enter floodwater to attempt a rescue. Call 911 and let trained responders help.
🚨 IF YOU ARE UNDER A GO EVACUATION ORDER, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY IF YOU CAN DO SO SAFELY. DO NOT WAIT!
Please look out for your neighbors, check on those who may need assistance, and give emergency crews plenty of room to work.
Stay safe, Verde Valley. We are here for you! ❤️🚑
