PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Only when it is safe to do so, please report flooding or landslides

threatening roads or property to the National Weather Service

Greenville-Spartanburg by calling 1...800...2 6 7...8 1 0 1, by

posting on our Facebook page, or by posting on X using hashtag

NWSGSP. Your message should describe the specific location, address,

or intersection where impacts occurred and the depth of flooding

observed.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the

dangers of flooding.

The additional heavy rain will increase the risk of landslides and

debris flows, especially in areas where landslides have occurred in

the past. Be especially alert if you live near a stream, particularly

at the base of a mountain or in a cove. Watch for signs that a

landslide may be imminent, including loose-moving soil and rocks or a

sudden increase in streamflow. Stay indoors and do NOT go outside to

investigate. Escape vertically inside your home by moving upstairs or

getting on top of counters to avoid being swept away.
