General advice for motorists includes:
- Keep your gas tank at least half-full in case you need to evacuate or move to higher ground.
- Make sure your windshield wipers are in good condition and use your headlights if you are driving in rainy conditions. Turning on your headlights increases your visibility and helps make other drivers aware of you.
- Do not drive through fast moving water or water of indeterminable depth. You could stall out your car or your vehicle could be washed away. As little as 24-inches of moving water could possibly wash away a vehicle.
- Do not drive in high winds, especially in high profile vehicles as you risk your vehicle being pushed by winds or rolled over.
- Following high wind events be cautious on the road as debris and live electrical lines could cause damage to you and your vehicle.
- If traffic signals are out treat as all way stops. This means:
1) 1st to stop is 1st to go
2) Tie? Driver on the right has right of way
3) Straight before turns. When 2 vehicles are facing at an intersection the vehicle going straight goes 1st.
4) Pedestrians always have the right of way. Drivers must yield to pedestrians in or approaching a crosswalk.
5) Use your turn signals to prevent confusion.
6) If police officers are directing traffic, follow their instructions.
