From the Town of Gravenhurst:
Residents can continue to take the following preparatory actions if they are in flood prone areas:
- Relocate items of value above flood levels. This includes items in basements, garages, sheds, yards, boathouses or other structures.
- Check your sump pump to ensure its working properly. Make sure the area around and above the pump is free from combustible materials.
- Know where sandbag/sand stock piles are located nearest to your home.
- Have an emergency generator available in case of power failure.
- Pre-arrange emergency accommodations and prepare a “go bag” in case of evacuation. If you are forced to evacuate your home, remember to make allowances for pets, medications and other personal items.
- Make sure docks and propane supply tanks are secured.
- Listen to radio and media alerts regarding severe weather. Stay informed.
