flood safety
High-water precautions
Flood safety refers to precautions and practices that protect people and property from flood damage.
The term encompasses both preparedness measures—knowing evacuation routes, having emergency supplies, avoiding flooded roads—and broader infrastructure concerns like levees and drainage systems.
The workshop covered basic flood safety for homeowners in low-lying areas.
