Coastal Flood Advisory
A coastal flood advisory is issued when flooding is expected to occur within the next 24 hours along the coast. This can be due to a variety of factors, including high tides, storm surges, and heavy rainfall.
What to do when a coastal flood advisory is issued:
- Monitor the situation closely.
- Stay away from flooded areas.
- If you must travel, be aware of the potential for flooding and take precautions to avoid it.
- If you are in a low-lying area, be prepared to evacuate if necessary.
How to stay safe during a coastal flood:
- Avoid driving through flooded areas. Even a few inches of water can cause your car to stall.
- If you must walk through flooded areas, use a sturdy stick to help you balance and avoid falling.
- Be aware of the potential for downed power lines and other hazards.
- If you are in a building that is flooding, move to a higher floor or to the roof if possible.
- Stay away from windows and doors that could be damaged by floodwaters.
Coastal flood advisories are issued by the National Weather Service (NWS). You can find more information about coastal flood advisories on the NWS website.
