π§οΈπ§ Flooding & Water Safety Reminder
With significant flooding throughout the Tipton area, hereβs an important reminder: floodwater is not recreational water.
Even familiar roads, ditches, creeks, and low-lying areas can become dangerous very quickly. Floodwater can be deeper and move faster than it appears, hide debris or damaged surfaces, and contain contaminants.
Please keep a few basics in mind:
β’ π Never drive through flooded roadways. Turn Around, Donβt Drown.
β’ πΆ Never walk, swim, or allow children to play in floodwater.
β’ πΎ Keep pets away from flooded areas and fast-moving water.
β’ β‘ Stay clear of downed power lines and electrical equipment near water.
β’ π Keep children closely supervised around drainage areas, creeks, retention ponds, and other waterways.
We spend a lot of time talking about water safety at the pool, but those lessons matter everywhere. When in doubt, stay out.
Stay safe, Tipton. π
