Flash flooding is avery dangerous situation and may impact areas that do not typicallyflood. Please monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to takeaction quickly should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.Rainfall of more than five inches in similar storms has beenassociated with an increased risk of landslides and rockslides. Ifyou live on a mountainside or in a cove at the base of a mountain,especially near a stream, be ready to leave in advance of the stormor as quickly as possible should rising water, moving earth, orrocks threaten. Consider postponing travel along mountain roadsduring periods of heavy rainfall.Low-lying areas adjacent to streams, including campgrounds, areespecially vulnerable to flooding.

Flash floods can occur quickly andoverwhelm adjacent low-lying areas with little warning. Once thestream starts to rise, you may only have minutes to evacuate. Flashfloods can cause catastrophic damage and be powerful enough to sweepaway campers, vehicles, and mobile homes. Consider temporarilyrelocating away from streams until the heavy rainfall threat passes.
