This document provides safety guidelines for flooding caused by monsoons or typhoons. It outlines steps to take before, during, and after a flood. Before a flood, people should be alert for heavy rain, know evacuation routes and high ground locations, and gather emergency supplies. During a flood, move immediately to high ground if outside, do not cross flooded streams, and listen to weather updates. When evacuating, avoid already flooded areas, do not drive or walk through flood waters, and steer clear of floating debris.

1. Monsoon/Typhoon Mitigation Plan
INDIVIDUAL FLOOD SAFETY CARDS
Before a Flood:
• Keep alert for signs of heavy rain.
• Know where high ground is and how you will get there quickly.
• Plan an evacuation route.
• Have emergency supplies (batteries, portable radio, food and water).
• Do not park or establish bivouac adjacent to streams or at the base of
a hill: Mud slides down hill.
• If in a residence fill bathtubs, sinks and jugs with clean water.
• Move valuable household possessions to upper floors if possible.
• If living off base know where the evacuation assembly area is on the
closest US Military Installation.
During a Flood:
• If outside move to high ground immediately.
• Don’t cross flooded streams.
• If your vehicle stalls during a stream crossing then abandon it and
move to higher ground.
• Listen to weather bulletins on AFKN radio.
• If in a residence turn off electricity and gas.
• Assemble emergency supplies, clothing and critical documents.
• If instructed to evacuate do so quickly to high ground and if possible,
to the closest US Military Installation.
During Evacuation:
• Avoid already flooded and high velocity water flow areas. Do not attempt
to cross a flowing stream on foot if water is above your knees.
• Do not attempt to drive through flooded areas as the roadbed may have
washed out underneath you.
• Avoid heavy floating objects like cars, boxes or conexs. Like an iceberg
most of it will be under water and will injure you if it hits you.
