Flood

The Rice University and Texas Medical Center Flood Alert System provides localized flood warnings and forecasts for the Rice University / TMC area.

What to Do

  • Seek shelter on high ground.
  • Don't walk, swim, or drive through floodwaters. TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN!
  • Stay off bridges over fast-moving water.
  • Stay inside if your car is trapped in fast-moving floodwater. If water is rising in the vehicle, go onto the vehicle's roof.
  • If trapped in a building, go to its highest level (avoid closed attics). Go onto the roof only if necessary.

How to Prepare

How to Recover

  • Do not use wet electrical equipment or while standing in water to avoid electric shock.
  • Do not wade in floodwater which can contain contaminants.
