1. **Do not walk, swim, or drive through floodwaters**: Floodwaters can be deeper and faster-moving than they appear, and they can sweep you away or stall your vehicle.

3. **Do not touch electrical equipment**: Avoid contact with electrical appliances or outlets if you are wet or standing in water to prevent electrocution.

6. **Do not use open flames**: Avoid using candles, matches, or other open flames in case of gas leaks. Use flashlights instead.

7. **Do not neglect personal hygiene**: Wash your hands thoroughly if you come into contact with floodwater to avoid infections.

8. **Do not drive around barricades**: Barricades are placed for your safety. Driving around them can put you in danger and hinder rescue efforts.
