* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only

  water. These rip currents can become life-threatening to 
  anyone entering the surf.



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.

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and
float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a
direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the
shore and call or wave for help.
