10.16.18 Seward Flood update
If there is
water across the road, slow down…or maybe even turnaround. Just six inches of fast-moving water can knock over an
adult. Only eighteen inches of flowing water can carry away most vehicles,
including large SUVs.
Be prepared. It
is always a good idea to have medication, important papers, and other key items
ready to go in the event flooding occurs in your area.
Call
(907) 714-2495 for non-emergency information
911
calls are for emergencies only!
