Our local Chino/Chino Hills team is a trusted leader in storm damage restoration services. This year, the National Weather Service issued flood watches and warnings for San Bernardino County. The Chino Hills website offers this information about staying safe during a flood:
When floods or flash flood potential (Flash Flood Watch) are forecast:
- Monitor radio, television, or the National Weather Service for forecast and water condition updates.
- If your building is likely flooded, move records, equipment, and furniture to upper floors or higher locations..
- Electric motors and other sensitive equipment parts (including furnace and water heater, washer, and dryer) may be removed, placed in plastic bags, and elevated even if the appliance cannot be moved
- Also, store chemicals where floodwaters can't reach them and cause contamination.
- Move livestock to higher ground, as appropriate.
- Prepare vehicles for evacuation (check gas, tires, etc.)
- A portable radio, flashlights, extra batteries, candles, first aid supplies, water, and nonperishable food are available if needed. Identify a safe area to which evacuation is feasible and safe routes to get there.
