Flood Facts

Flooding can never be overlooked in Arkansas:

  • In 2004 floods caused two deaths.
  • In 2005 floods caused one death.
  • In 2006 floods caused three deaths.

Most flash flood deaths happen at night.  That’s when flooded roads are the hardest to see.


Flood Tips

1. Never try to walk through flowing water.

  • six inches of moving water can sweep you off your feet.

2. Never try to drive through a flooded road.

  • Only a few inches can cause your car to move.
  • You and your car can be swept into a deeper area.
  • You could easily find yourself trapped.

3. Avoid power lines and electrical wires.

  • Electrical current can move through water and cause electrocution.
