        If you are in a flood-prone area, stay alert to weather warnings and evacuate when necessary. Move to higher ground immediately if flooding occurs. Avoid walking or driving through flooded areas as the water may be deeper than it appears and could be contaminated. Secure essential items and documents in waterproof containers, and prepare a 'go-bag' with necessities such as water, food, medications, and important documents.
