做好准备以防洪水! We want to ensure that you have the necessary information to help you prepare for the potentiality of a flood in the Carson City area. 洪水在任何季节都可能发生, but the greatest threat is posed from rains and the melt off of mountain snow pack which can swell rivers and runoffs to capacity and beyond and wreak havoc. In January 1997, Carson City experienced major flooding because of these factors. What to do before, during, and after a flood will put you ahead of the power curve.

Before the Flood Hits

Prolonged rainfall over several days can cause a river or stream to overflow and flood the surrounding area. A flash flood from a broken dam or levee or after intense rainfall of one inch (or more) per hour often catches people unprepared. Regardless, the rule for being safe is simple: head for the high ground and stay away from the water. But, before a flood hits, you can prepare yourself by taking the steps:

• Make an itemized list of personal property including furnishings, clothing, and valuables.
• 给你的房子里里外外拍几张照片.
• Place valuable documents in a box or other container for easy relocation. Keep in a safe location least likely to be flooded.
• Learn the safest route from your home or place of business to high, safe ground in case you need to evacuate in a hurry.
• Keep a portable radio, spare batteries, 应急烹调设备, and flashlights in working order and in water-tight plastic bag.
• Keep first aid and critical medical supplies (Insulin, prescriptions, special need items, etc.) on hand.
• 至少有48小时的供应. 如果需要的话，带上婴儿用品.
• Keep a stock of food which requires little cooking and no refrigeration (packaged, dry, canned, etc).
• Non electric can opener.
• 换衣服、鞋子和毯子.
• Keep automobile fueled - if power is out, gas pumps may not be operable.
• Keep cash on hand - automatic teller machines won't work if power is out.
• Develop an animal evacuation plan for the safety of your animals or pets.
• Have emergency pet supplies and food available for your pets; include crates or cages.
• Develop a plan for relocating your livestock if the need arises.
• Develop a plan for family members in case of evacuation, etc: where to meet, or who to contact outside of area to let them know they're safe, etc.
• 问问你的代理人关于洪水保险的事.
• Keep materials like sandbags, plywood, plastic sheeting and lumber, for emergency waterproofing.
• Sand and Sandbags will become available once an emergency has been declared. Numerous, locations throughout the county will be supplied. Please call your Emergency Services Office for locations.
• Emergency Shelters: Red Cross shelters will be set up as necessary. 检票地点将会公布. See the checklist of recommended items to pack in case of evacuation from your residence.
