What to do
- Leave the flow path for higher ground away from its path.
- If rocks approach, seek nearby shelter. Cover under sturdy furniture if possible.
- If injured or trapped, call. Say where you are and what prevents escape. Do not cross water or wires for help.
- Report damaged wires or pipes to authorities. Do not touch or enter to repair them.
- If unable to escape, call and describe your location and the blockage. Do not cross moving mud.
- Unable to escape: request rescue with position/blockage. No moving mud crossing or return for belongings. Helper: do not enter. Locate from safety and report.
- Safe access only: attend breathing and severe bleeding first. No digging/lifting unstable debris. No signal: ask another to call from safety, without entering to find you.
