What is a flood warning?
A flood warning is issued when flooding is occurring or imminent but develops more slowly than a flash flood. River flood warnings are tied to forecast points on a river or stream and include the expected crest and the flood stage, which tells you how high the water will rise compared with the level where damage begins.
Areal flood warnings cover broader areas where prolonged rain or snowmelt is causing flooding of roads, fields and neighborhoods.
What to do
- Follow evacuation orders from local officials.
- Move valuables and vehicles to higher ground.
- Never drive through water covering a road; the road bed may be washed out.
How often flood warnings are issued
