Reduce weather warnings: advice, watches and warnings

• Fall flood warning: take measures!

A fall flood warning is issued when a flood of falls is imminent or occurs. If you are in a area at risk of flooding, go to the high ground immediately. A flood of falls is a sudden violent flood that can take from minutes to hours to development. It is even possible to experience a flood of falls in areas that do not get rain immediately.

• Flood warning: take measures!

A flood warning is issued when flooding is imminent or occurs.

• Flood advice: Be aware:

It is not expected that flood advice will be issued if the floods are bad enough to issue a warning. However, it can lead to considerable inconvenience, and if there is no caution worldwide, this can lead to situations that can threaten life and/or property.

• Flood clock: be prepared:

A flood clock is issued when the conditions for floods are favorable. It does not guarantee that flooding will occur, but it means that there is a possibility.

Remain safe with a flood: recommendations from the weather service

Floods can be a significant threat, especially if they live in a area at risk of flooding or camp in a low region. To ensure your security, the Weather Service offers essential guidelines for flood security:

Move on the higher floor:

If you live in a region at risk of flooding or camp in low terrain, the first step into safety on higher soil is.

Follow evacuation orders:

If the local authorities issue an evacuation order, they correspond immediately. Before the demolition, secure your home by locking it.

Separate supply companies and devices:

If time allows, separate your service programs and devices. This precaution minimizes the electrical dangers during the floods.

Avoid basement and submerged areas:

Avoid basement or rooms that are dipped in water with an electrical outlet or cables. The prevention of electrical accidents is crucial.

Evacue immediately from security:

If you notice sparks or hear the buzzing, crackling, snapping or popping, you will evacuate immediately. Do not enter any water that can wear an electric load.

Keep away from flooding:

Never try to go through floods. Even 6 inches quickly moving water can be violently thrown off your feet.

Find a high floor when you are caught:

In the event that you are trapped by moving water, you can find yourself on the way to the highest available point and examine the emergency services.

In the case of strong rainfall, there is a risk of floods, especially in low -lying and flood -risk -ended areas. Remember to never drive through water on the street, even if it appears flat. After the weather service, only 12 inches can carry the most cars away. Stay safe by being prepared and informed.

Navigate rainy roads: safety tips for wet weather

Rain can transform streets into dangers. Stay up to date and follow these tips from the weather service to ensure security in the event of strong precipitation:

Pay attention to the fast water flow:

Avoid parking or walking near the thoroughly runs or drainage trenches, in which water can quickly be a serious risk.

Keep secure tracks:

Use the two-second rule to maintain a secure distance from the car in front of you and leave additional seconds in heavy rain for two seconds.

Reduce speed and drive carefully:

The slowdown is of the utmost importance on wet roads. Gradually loosen the accelerator pedal and avoid abrupt braking to prevent the spin.

Choose your trail carefully:

Stick to the middle tracks to minimize the risk of hydroplanization. Outdoor traces are more susceptible to accumulating water.

Prioritize the visibility:

Switch on your headlights and pay attention to other vehicles backwards and in the areas for blind spots, as it is particularly difficult to see by rain-limited windows.

Pay attention to slippery roads:

The initial half an hour of rain is that the streets are smoothest due to a mixture of rain, dirt and oil. Exercise increased caution during this time.

Keep it away from large vehicles:

Large trucks and buses can reduce their visibility with tire spray. Avoid tailgers and pass them over quickly and safely.

Pay attention to your windshield wipers:

• Overloaded wiper leaves can hinder visibility. When rain limits your eyesight, drive on and wait for the conditions to improve. Find yourself in retirement areas or protected areas.
• When you drop by the roadside, your vehicle is ideally out of the guardrails as far as possible from the street. Keep your headlights and activate emergency flyers to draw other drivers of your position.

In view of heavy rain, these precautions can cause a significant difference to ensure their safety on the street. Remember to stay up to date on the weather conditions and guidance of the local authorities to get a safe journey.
