\"flood-sign\"<\/a>
\nThe Kentucky Division of Water wants people to know about the dangers of floodwater as flooding continues in parts of western Kentucky.<\/p>\n

The Division of Water says people should avoid contact with floodwater and not try to cross flooded roads or enter flooded areas, either in a vehicle or on foot. It’s hard to tell how deep water is, it moves rapidly and it may carry large debris that can cause injury.<\/p>\n

Also, sanitary sewers may overflow and leak into floodwaters, so no contact should be made with floodwaters to avoid potential contamination.<\/p>\n

The agency says floodwaters also pose the danger of electrical shock due to downed wires.<\/p>\n

Residents also shouldn’t consume food or water that has been exposed to floodwaters, including well, spring or city water.<\/p>\n
