What to do
Take steps now to protect flood-prone property. Low-lying homes, businesses and some critical infrastructure may be inundated around high tide.
If you must travel, do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 1 foot can sweep a vehicle away.
Inexperienced swimmers should stay out of the water because of dangerous surf. Swim near a lifeguard.
If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Do not swim against it. If you can, swim along the shoreline. If you cannot escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
