...FLOOD SAFETY PREPAREDNESS WEEK CONTINUES...

The National Weather Service (NWS) has declared March 10th through
March 16th as Flood Safety Preparedness Week. The National Weather
Service in Buffalo will feature information about a different flood
topic each day during the awareness week.

Today`s Topic: Flood Watches and Warnings

A Flood Watch is issued when flooding is possible. When a flood
watch is issued for your area, be prepared. Adjust your travel
plans. Monitor the latest forecast and be ready to seek higher
ground.

A Flood Warning is issued when flooding is happening or is about to
happen. When a flood warning is issued, it`s time to take action! If
you are in a vulnerable location, move to higher ground immediately.
Never drive or walk through flood waters.

Join us tomorrow for information on the different types of flood
hazards.
