Do not park vehicles or camp in dry riverbeds, or wadis, to avoid being surprised by a sudden flood of water or a flood.
Do not cross your vehicle ever with the sections that are flooded.
The force of the water can drag out of the driveway.
Stay constantly informed through radio and other means of communication, weather forecasting and the state of the situation.
In case of rain, if you must travel, try to move preferably on major roads and highways at a moderate speed.
If you are in the field, stay away from the base of the hills, where they may be surprised by the water falling down its sides sometimes dragging mud, tree stumps and rocks.
