6月以来,我国的强降雨过程一轮接着一轮,在经历了一个非常短的降雨间歇期之后,新一轮强降雨又再次拉开帷幕。汛期如何预防和躲避突发洪水,如何规避和自救?

Flash floods can strike with almost no warning.

Heavy rains can escalate quickly and turn a light drizzle into a raging river.

First, here's how to know if a flood is coming your way.

If a Flood Watch has been issued, that means flash flooding is possible in your area.

A Flood Warning means that floods are already occurring and you should be prepared to evacuate.

As soon as you receive word of a flash flood, make your way to higher ground, which is any ground or structure that's higher in elevation than other ground.

Water is always going to flow down so hilltops, upper levels of buildings, and other elevated areas are less likely to be affected by flood waters.

If you see flood waters, head in the opposite direction.
