PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Life-threatening flooding of creeks, roads and normally dry arroyos
is likely. Additional heavy rains may trigger rockslides, mudslides
and debris flows in steep terrain, especially in and around these
areas.

Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where
you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become
killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or
creeks.
