In the event of flooding:
- Do not walk, ride, bike, swim, or drive through flood waters. Turn Around. Don’t Drown!
- Avoid flooded roads, paths, and sidewalks. These areas could be damaged under the floodwaters.
- Remember, just six inches of moving water can knock you down, and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away.
- Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize flooding dangers.
- Notify URI Public Safety at (401) 874-4910 to report flooding conditions on campus.
