Follow the Ontario Provincial Police - North East Region safety reminders for motorists navigating flooded roadways:
- Slow down and remain alert for standing water, debris and damaged road surfaces;
- Flooded roadways can be difficult to see, especially at high speeds - speeding can result in a sudden loss of control and serious collisions when water is encountered unexpectedly;
- Never attempt to drive through roads that are completely flooded or washed out as the roadway underneath may be unstable or completely gone;
- Do not drive on closed or barricaded roadways. Driving on a closed road is dangerous and against the law.
 
In case of emergency please call 9-1-1.
