County emergency manager: Stay out of floodwater, document damage and wait for official 'all clear'
Summary
Kelly Wilson advised residents to avoid floodwater and downed power lines, take photos for insurance, and follow county guidance on debris separation and contracted pickup operations during recovery.
Wilson listed immediate post-storm safety priorities: avoid floodwaters because they can contain hazardous materials, and stay away from downed power lines until responders confirm safety. "Those floodwaters, folks, they are nasty," she said.
She also advised residents who suffered damage to photograph the interior and exterior before cleaning up to support insurance claims, and described county-managed debris operations that will send contracted trucks to collect separated vegetative, construction and appliance piles. Residents are directed to the county brochure for details on pile separation and schedules.
