Never drive, ride or walk through floodwater!
Floodwater can be deeper and faster flowing than it appears. It can contain hidden snags, debris and contaminants such as sewage, chemicals and dead animals. Floodwater can erode road surfaces. Entering floodwater is the major cause of death during floods.
Above all, Keep Calm and Stay Safe!
Regards,
Blue Mountains Emergency Services, working together.
