fyi...when you walk down a flooded street use your 6 ft hook to probe in front of you (as you would on a smokey roof with zero visibilty)
this will help in the event a manhole cover has been dislodged.

^^^^ Very important tip since if you have the bad fortune to fall thru a roof at least you MIGHT be seen by Units operating inside but if you were walking along a flooded street & you step into an open manhole you may not be located in time.....

Also on the street flooding issue work w/a Partner when Searching / Surveying or moving thru the flood area for any reason.....

Three more points ...

1 = Beware walking on an Asphalt or Concrete surface near the edge of a hole or washed out area as the sub surface may be already washed away & the surface material may not support your weight.....

2 = At a flood situation what was previously & still may appear to be a dirt surface covered in a few inches of mud may actually be a very deep pool of water soaked mud varying in depth possibly significant enough to trap you in a material similar to quicksand ....

3 = Not just limited to Rural areas ...think Breezy Point / Roxbury in QNS as well as other sandy Beach areas that still use cess pools w/ stacked block walls ....in a flood condition if the walls are washed out & collapse the size of the cess pool can expand & no longer be in the position you might expect it to be in creating another unexpected serious water hazard.
