PLEASE! - Do not call the Police Dispatch or 911 unless there is a threat to your own life or someone else's!   They can easily get overwhelmed during a flood situation and must be available to respond to emergencies.
Also - Do not refer to this web site for up-to-date information.  Once the Flood Watch Program is activated, we will not have time to make updates to this site.
The best source of information is to listen to local radio stations.
