5. Greater tree canopy zoning powers, awaiting Governor's action. This was a major ask from the public in the local zoning rewrite but we were limited by state regs. Should this become law, we can increase protections in sensitive areas like flood plains and along rivers and streams. #VALeg #TreeCanopy #zoning #FloodSafety #CleanWater #SaveTheBay https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB549

In addition to the severe hazards that are expected today....locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding will also be a growing concern💧#FloodSafety

#ALwx #FloodSafety Pro-Tips:

👣 Watch your step! Floodwaters often hide sharp and dangerous debris like broken glass & shards of metal!

🔌 Do not go into a room where water covers the electrical outlets or where cords are submerged

📌#HurricanePrep

#ALwx 🗃️ #HurricanePrep Tip - Flood waters will damage important documents & papers.  Store any critical documents in a waterproof container or electronically.

Thanks for joining us for Flood Safety Preparedness Week! See additional #floodsafety information at https://weather.gov/safety/flood #FSPW2023 #gawx #thatsawrap

Although this is #FloodSafety Preparedness Week, it's worth highlighting a drought resource. Drought.gov is brought to you by NIDIS, a multi-agency partnership that coordinates drought services. #droughtpreparedness #FSPW2023 #gawx

It's the last day of #FloodSafety Week and we're talking about our partners! USGS is one of our vital partners, providing real-time water data to us for warnings. And yes, 'gage' is spelled correctly. Check their website out to see why! #FSPW2023 #gawx usgs.gov

Today is Day 4 of #FloodSafety Preparedness Week and we're talking about NWS Products and Services. Do you know the difference between a Watch and a Warning? It's never too early to learn! #FSPW2023 #gawx

NWS River Flood Warnings indicate Minor, Moderate or Major Flooding is occurring or will occur at a given stretch of a creek or river. Adjectives like 'epic' or 'biblical' may provide context, but aren't official categories. #gawx #FSPW2023 #floodsafety

Only flood insurance will cover the damage from floods. Speak with your insurance agent to learn more. #FloodSafety

It's Day 3 of #FloodSafety Preparedness Week in Georgia. Did you know that Flash Flooding occurs far more often in north Georgia? #FSPW2023 #flashfloodstats #gawx

When you drive into floodwaters, you’re not only putting your own life at risk, but also the lives of those who will be called in to rescue you. It’s far better to be late to work or to an appointment and remain safe, than to take a risk and possibly lose your life. #FloodSafety

It's Day 2 of #FloodSafety Preparedness Week. Did you know more deaths occur due to flooding than from any other thunderstorm related hazard? And most of these happen in vehicles. Don't risk your safety or the safety of others! #FSPW2023 #TADD #gawx

Think about how you would respond during and after a flood. Now is the time to prepare! #FloodSafety #FSPW2023 #gawx

This week, take some time to familiarize yourself with easy steps to help keep you and your family safe during flash floods. #floodsafety #FSPW2023 #gawx

Today is the first day of #FloodSafety Week in Georgia! Ever wonder how much rain falls in a typical year? Georgia sees rainfall year-round -- from chilly stratiform weather, summertime thunderstorms and everything in between. Flooding can occur any time! #FSPW2023 #gawx

The best time to prepare for flooding was before the last flood. The absolute next best time is now! Tomorrow begins Flood Safety Preparedness Week in Georgia. Don't let this nice weather fool you. Prepare now! #floodsafety #fspw2023 #gawx

PSA: if you’re in a situation where flood waters are rising around your car like this, staying in the car is probably the least safe place unless you have a window hammer. Climbing a tree is safer.

@unixmercenary ‘s maxim is “Don’t run from danger, run toward safety.”

Air runs out first. People who’ve gotten hypothermia can be treated, but dead cannot be.
