Instruction:
Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
Heavy rain has significantly increasing the risk of landslides,
especially in areas where slides have occurred in the past. Slides
can destroy single homes and other structures and large sections of
roads. If you are in the warned area, you should not travel, except
to move away from flash flood or landslide dangers. If you are in
the vicinity of a stream near the heavy rainfall, especially on a
mountainside, or at the base of a mountain or in a cove, move
immediately to a safer location.
