 The Village is monitoring the Milwaukee River. All pertinent information concerning the water level will be posted on the Village Website Home Page.
Flooding can occur in almost every part of the U.S. and during any month. In 2012, 39 percent of flood fatalities occurred from driving into flood water and 18 percent from walking into it. If you're driving or walking and encounter flood water, turn around. Don't drown.
It only takes six inches of water to knock over an adult and cause loss of control of a vehicle. A foot of water will float many vehicles and only two feet of rushing water will carry them away, including pickups and SUVs.
The depth of flood water is not always obvious. It can be especially hard to judge at night. The best option is to play it safe and turn around.
Find out what you can do to keep your family safe before, during, and after floods.
Sandbag Factoids ...
To be effective, sandbags must be properly filled.
Did you know ....The average sandbag measures 14 x 25 inches and is filled approximately half-full to allow proper stacking and placement. A properly filled sandbag should weigh approx. 40 lbs., and occupy a space of .28 cubic ft. when tamped into place. To make a wall 100 ft. in length and 1 ft. high would require 800 sandbags and approximately 13 tons of sand (wet weight).
