What You Should Do  If Flooding Threatens Your Home

If you think you may have to leave your home, try to do so before dark.  This will make it safer for everyone.
Use running water sparingly as water tables are very high and sewers may be flooded.

Emergency shelters are open at EAST LYME HIGH SCHOOL and THE EAST LYME COMMUNITY CENTER.

 

Drive cautiously – 6” of water in a puddle can move your car sideways.
