Flash flood safety

• Here in the Morongo Basin, our biggest danger is Flash Flooding.
• Even a typical rain storm here in the Basin can cause flooding in area washes.
• Do not attempt to drive or walk across a flooded road or low water crossing.
• Two feet of moving water will carry most vehicles off of the road.
• Six inches of fast-moving water can knock you off your feet.
• Be especially vigilant at night when flooded roads are harder to recognize.
• Report any flooded roads or flowing washes to local authorities.
