BELOW THE THRESHOLD THAT IS NORMALLY USED.

IN ADDITION, STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS MAY CAUSE FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER 
LEVELS IN FLOODED REGIONS, SUCH AS ALONG FLOODED PORTIONS OF THE 
PASSAIC RIVER, WHERE A LARGE EXPANSE OF WATER WOULD BE EXPOSED 
TO THE WIND. 

FOR SAFETYS SAKE, AVOID TREES THAT LOOK WEAK, DEAD, OR HAVE EXPOSED 
ROOTS OR LARGE DEAD BRANCHES. PARK CARS AWAY FROM ANY TREES THAT 
SEEM WEAK AS WELL. IF POWER LINES ARE DOWNED, STAY FAR AWAY FROM 
THEM AND NOTIFY EMERGENCY AUTHORITIES. PLEASE BE WARY WHILE
DRIVING OVER BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. 

AREA RESIDENTS SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST WEATHER FORECASTS AND
