CITY OF FULTON URGES RESIDENTS TO PREPARE FOR SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL EVENT
The City of Fulton is advising residents to take immediate precautions ahead of a major rainfall event expected
to impact on our area tomorrow. The National Weather Service is predicting 4-7 inches of rain during this
weather event.
Residents in flood-prone areas should take the following preparedness actions:
 Move vehicles to higher ground
 Clear gutters and storm drains of debris
 Monitor local news and weather updates
 Have an evacuation plan ready if needed
The City of Fulton emphasizes that driving through flooded roadways poses extreme danger to both drivers and
potential rescue personnel. Remember:
 Never drive around barricades
 Six inches of moving water can knock you down
 One foot of moving water can sweep away most vehicles
 Turn Around, Don't Drown®
Emergency response teams are preparing for potential flooding and will be monitoring conditions throughout
the weather event. Residents should call 911 in case of emergency.
