We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in Tillamook County.

Do you know how to stay safe during a flooding event? Our teams in Yamhill and Tillamook Counties want everyone in Pacific City to be safe in the event of flooding. Our technicians respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day. We have the training, equipment, and experience necessary to mitigate and restore flood damage, no matter how extensive the damage is.

Here are some tips from Federal Emergency Management Agency on things you can do to stay safe during a flood:

• If told to evacuate, evacuate immediately. Never drive around barricades. Local responders use them to safely direct traffic out of flooded areas.
• Contact your health provider if you are sick and need medical attention. Wait for further care instructions and shelter in place, if possible. Call 9-1-1 if you have a medical emergency.
• Listen to EAS, NOAA Weather Radio, or local alerting systems for current information and instructions regarding flooding
• Get to the highest level if trapped in a building. Do not climb into a closed attic space and only get on the roof if necessary and once there is a signal for help.
• Stay off bridges and out of fast-moving water. Turn Around. Don’t Drown!
• Say inside your car if it is trapped in rapidly moving water. Get on the roof if water is rising inside the vehicle.
