Flooding

j0279370

 

 

 

Flooding can occur suddenly due to heavy rainfall or sudden cloudburst or squall or because of damage to a water distribution system or failure of a dam.

Remember water is a powerful force and ALWAYS takes the path of least resistance.

 

IF FLOODING OCCURS:

  • Initiate appropriate response which may include sheltering-in-place, on-site evacuation, or off-site evacuation

  • Call Security or initiate 9-1-1 and describe nature and extent of flooding

  • If evacuation is initiated, use prescribed routes or the safest route to the assembly area

  • In all cases, listen to the direction of Security or campus officials
