4 Page 4 FLOODS & FLASH FLOODS Pennsylania is one of the most flood-prone states in the nation. From rural areas to suburban communities, floods - especially flash floods - are a constant concern. BEFORE Find out if you live in a flood-prone area from your local emergency management office Learn flood warning signs and you community alert signals Request information on preparing for floods and flash floods If you live in a frequently flooded area, stockpile emergency building materials (plywood, plastic sheeting, nails, hammer, saw, etc.) Plan and practice an evacuation route Have disaster supplies on hand Flashlights and extra batteries Portable, battery-operated radio and extra batteries First aid kit and manual Emergency food and water Non-electric can opener Essential medicines Cash and credit cards Sturdy shoes Develop an emergency communications plan In case family members are separated from one another during floods or flash floods, have a plan for getting back together Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the family contact. Make sure everyone knows the name, address, and phone number of the contact person Teach all family members how and when to turn off gas, electricity and water Teach children how and when to dial 9-1-1, and which radio station to listen to for emergency information CONTINUE ON PAGE 5

5 Page 5 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 DURING A FLOOD If indoors: Turn on battery-operated radio to get the latest emergency information Get your preassembled emergency supplies If told to leave, do so immediately If outdoors: Climb to high ground and stay there Avoid walking through any floodwaters. If it is moving swiftly, even water 6 inches deep can sweep you off your feet If in a car: If you come to a flooded area, turn around and go another way If your car stalls, abandon it immediately and climb to higher ground. Many deaths have resulted from attempts to move stalled vehicles DURING AN EVACUATION If advised to evacuate, do so immediately Listen to a radio for evacuation instructions Follow recommended evacuation routes -- shortcuts may be blocked Leave early enough to avoid being stranded by flooded roads AFTER Flood dangers do not end when the water begins to recede. Listen to a radio or television and don t return home until authorities indicate it is safe to do so. Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance -- infants, elderly people, and people with disabilities. Stay out of buildings if flood waters remain around the building. Throw away food -- including canned goods -- that has come in contact with flood waters. Pump out flooded basements gradually (about one-third of the water per day) to avoid structural damage. Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits, and leaching systems as soon as possible. Damaged sewage systems are health hazards.

6 Page 6 Notes from the Director The Department of Public Safety is continuing to make progress with numerous projects. The County s 9-1-1/telecommunications tower site upgrade projects at both the Bald Eagle and Shriver s Ridge sites are nearing completion with the recent delivery of new pre-cast buildings to house the communications equipment. DPS is also in the final review process of vendor proposals to select a firm to conduct a future needs assessment of the microwave system. The Department is also finalizing designs and equipment needs for an upgraded back-up Center and an alternate/back-up EOC at an existing county-operated facility. This will afford the department some flexibility and redundancy during and especially after a disaster/incident. DPS staff will be working with other county offices and departments to review best practices to expand social media utilization into our operations. On a closing note, PLEASE ensure you forward copies of your certification or training certificates to the DPS Office. Many of these programs are available on-line for your convenience. THANKS! John NATURAL GAS ACTIVITY The Natural Gas Industry continues to grow in the Central Pennsylvania area. As of January 1, 2013, Lycoming County is host to 12 Operators in 25 municipalities.
