“Turn around, don’t drown.”
Flooding is the most common natural hazard in Hawai’i.
Do not drive or walk through flood waters!
– It only takes 6 inches of moving water to knock you off your feet.
– 12 inches of water can float a car/small SUV; 18 inches can sweep large vehicles away
Do not drive around barricades!
– Water may be deeper than it looks and may be hiding hazards:
– sharp objects, electrical wires, chemicals, etc.
