SEVERE WEATHER INFORMATION
As a motorhome traveler, you may want to explore
new and out-of-the-way places. These recreational
areas can be vulnerable to unusual and severe
weather conditions. The following suggestions and
safety precautions may help you in case you find
yourself in severe weather situations.
•
Be alert. Thunderstorms and heavy rains can
occur
suddenly and unexpectedly.
Frequently check weather reports for the
area in which you are camping or travelling
so you will not be caught unaware of sudden
weather changes.
•
Remember the following terms:
o
Weather Watch - Severe weather
may develop in your area. Be
prepared for an emergency.
o
Weather Warning - Severe weather is
occurring
or is imminent.
Immediately find a safe location.
•
When camping near a body of water, leave
plenty of space and elevation between your
motorhome and the water.
•
Avoid canyons or dry washes during
threatening weather. Prepare an alternate
exit, and move to higher ground as soon as it
starts raining.
•
If you get caught in a flash flood, do not
attempt to move your vehicle. Abandon it,
and return only after the water level has
subsided. Never attempt to drive through
any flooded area.
•
Comply with all warnings and instructions
provided by local authorities.
•
Stock enough survival supplies for several
days. This should include food, water, first aid
supplies, and necessary medications.
•
When you leave home, inform someone of
your destination and your schedule. Notify
the same person if your plans change.
NOTICE
All motorhome occupants must be familiar with
these safety precautions and should be alert to
changing weather.
