Although it does not usually flood here in Huntington Beach, when it does you need to be prepared for it.

During a Flood Watch or Warning
•   Gather emergency supplies, including non-perishable food and water. Store at least 1 gallon of water per day for each person and each pet. Store at least a 3-day supply.

•   Listen to your local radio or television station for updates.

•   Bring in outdoor items (lawn furniture, grills, trash cans) or tie them down securely.

•   If evacuation appears necessary, turn off all utilities at the main power switch and close the main gas valve.

•   Leave areas subject to flooding such as low spots, canyons, washes, etc.

      Remember: avoid driving through flooded areas and standing water.
