Calling from a flooding mobile home - no
fire problem. |
|
| Q1:
Is the water inside the mobile home? |
 |
| |
If the water HAS already
gotten into the mobile home: |
 |
| |
Things to tell the caller... |
| |
 |
If the water outside
isn't flowing too fast, or if the water
doesn't contain too much debris, then
choose a place to evacuate (such as nearby
dry ground).
|
| |
 |
If the water is flowing
too fast, or if for any other reason it
seems unsafe to try to get to high ground,
try to get to the roof of a stable structure.
|
| |
 |
Take some sort of flotation
device (such as a couch cushion) with
you when you leave. Take one such cushion
for each person that is leaving.
|
| |
 |
Make sure that your pets
are free to swim with you, and do not
attempt to carry larger pets. You could
both lose your lives.
|
 |
| |
If the water HAS NOT gotten
into the mobile home: |
 |
| |
Things to tell the caller... |
| |
 |
Stay in the structure
until water begins to come in and locate
things to use for flotation devices, such
as couch cushions, and have them ready
to go. Find one for each member of the
family.
|
| |
 |
Decide where to evacuate
if it becomes necessary. Nearby dry ground
is best, but only if the water isn't flowing
too fast, or if it doesn't contain much
debris.
|
| |
 |
The roof of the trailer
or tree might be used, if nothing else
is available.
|
| |
 |
Call back if water begins
to get inside the mobile home.
