  of areas along the beachfront. In addition to the coastal 
  flood risk, there is a high risk of rip currents. Rip currents 
  can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper 
  water.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.

direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the
shore and call or wave for help.
