Turn Around, Don't Drown! Safety first! Remember, never drive through flooded roads. It's not worth the risk to you or your passengers. If you see any traffic lights out while navigating during this weather, treat each intersection as a four-way stop and report the outage immediately to the Disaster Recovery Call Center at 713.274.3880. Your call can help keep our roads safe for everyone. Stay safe, Harris County! 💧🚦 #SafetyFirst #TurnAroundDontDrown #DisasterRecovery #HarrisCounty #StaySafe #Harriscounty #OCE
