Even a small amount of floodwater can hide dangers such as road collapse and debris. Steer clear of flooded roads! #TurnAroundDontDrown #FloodSafety #FloodSmart Incluso una pequeña cantidad de agua de inundación puede ocultar peligros como el colapso de carreteras y escombros. ¡Evita las carreteras inundadas!.
