ER24 urged motorists to avoid entering flooded areas and not to attempt crossing flooded low-water bridges. An alternative route should be used and motorists are encouraged to alert local authorities of areas that are flooded.
Keep a proper following distance and remember that it takes longer to bring your vehicle to a standstill on wet roads. Slow down and be patient.
Should you come across an emergency, alert ER24 on 084124 and clearly state the nature of the emergency. The Emergency Resource Officer will be able to alert local authorities as well.
