Safety Focus: Statewide Flooding Emergency

Governor Doug Burgum declared a statewide emergency for flooding earlier this week.

The National Weather Service has put together great resources on flooding here.

This includes information on what to do before, during, and after a flood.

There is also a map that shows current flooding conditions throughout the country.

Remember to:

  • Follow any evacuation orders
  • Don't drive through standing water!

It doesn't take much water to have a big impact.

  • Only 6 inches of swift-moving water can knock you off your feet and sweep you away
  • 12 inches of water can carry away most small cars
  • 2 feet of water will lift most large vehicles
