🌊🚨 Flood Waters & Severe Weather Week – Stay Alert, Grant County!🚨🌪️

As we recognize Severe Weather Week, the Grant County Dive Team wants to remind everyone that flood waters are extremely dangerous — even when they don’t look it.

⚠️ Turn Around, Don’t Drown
Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you off your feet.
Just 12 inches of water can carry away most vehicles.
You cannot see road damage, debris, or strong currents beneath flood water.

đźš— Never drive through flooded roadways.
🚶 Keep children and pets away from drainage ditches, culverts, and swollen creeks.
⚡ Stay clear of downed power lines and report them immediately.

Our team is trained and prepared to respond to water-related emergencies, but your safety starts with prevention. Making smart decisions protects not only you and your family — but also first responders.

📱 Monitor local weather alerts.
đź“» Have multiple ways to receive warnings.
🧰 Keep an emergency kit ready.
🗺️ Know your evacuation routes.

If you encounter a water emergency, call 911 immediately.

Stay weather aware. Stay safe. And as always, we are here when you need us.

As temperatures🌡️ continue to drop across Grant County, ice is beginning to form on ponds, lakes, and slow-moving waterways. While it may look solid, ice thickness can vary greatly and is often much thinner than it appears, especially near:

• Moving water
• Drainage areas
• Springs
• Docks and shorelines
• Areas with changing temperatures

Even a few inches of unsafe ice can fail without warning, putting lives at risk.

🚨 If someone falls through the ice:
• Call 911 immediately
• Do not rush onto the ice
• Use the “Reach or Throw, Don’t Go” method (rope, branch, jacket, cooler, etc.)
• Stay low and spread weight if assisting from shore

The Grant County Dive Team urges everyone to use extreme caution and avoid unnecessary risks on frozen water. Prevention is the best rescue.

Stay informed. Stay cautious. Stay safe.

⚠️ High Water ⚠️

With the recent heavy rains, water levels across our county are rising fast—and so is the danger.

📌Remember: Turn Around, Don’t Drown.

Even a few inches of fast-moving water can sweep away a vehicle. Roads may be washed out beneath the surface, and what looks like a small puddle could be life-threatening.

Please:
• Never drive through flooded roadways.
• Obey all barricades and road closures.
• Keep children and pets away from creeks, ditches, and streams.

With heavy rains and flooding impacting our region, Grant County Emergency Management is reminding all motorists of the critical danger posed by driving through floodwaters. Each year, lives are lost due to drivers underestimating the depth and power of water on roadways.

Turn Around, Don’t Drown!
It only takes six inches of moving water to knock a person off their feet and one foot of water to carry away most vehicles. Floodwaters can also hide road damage, debris, and strong currents that make driving extremely hazardous.

Safety Tips for Drivers:
• Never attempt to drive through flooded roads. It only takes a small amount of water to lose control of your vehicle.
• Do not drive around barriers or road closure signs. These are in place for your protection.
• If your vehicle stalls in water, abandon it immediately and seek higher ground.
• Stay informed. Monitor local weather alerts and emergency updates before heading out.

Flood Facts:
• Over half of all flood-related drownings occur when vehicles are driven into dangerous waters.
• Just two feet of rushing water can carry away most trucks and SUVs.
• Floodwaters can rise rapidly and be deeper than they appear.

Grant County Emergency Management urges everyone to take these warnings seriously. When in doubt, remember: Turn Around, Don’t Drown! Your safety and the safety of emergency responders depend on it.

Today, the Grant County Dive Team spent the day training at the Louisville Dive Center, sharpening our skills in underwater recoveries. With three teams of divers in the water, we worked through a series of challenging scenarios to improve our precision, communication, and efficiency.

Training at Louisville Dive Center provides a unique advantage, with its 35-foot deep, controlled environment allowing us to focus on technique and teamwork. Days like this make a huge difference when it comes to real-world recoveries.

A big thank you to everyone who put in the work today, and to the Louisville Dive Center for providing such a great facility for training. Stay safe, and we’ll see you in the water!
