LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —With impending storms expected to start Tuesday afternoon and last into Wednesday morning, Bucks County Emergency Management is offering tips for residents to remain safe.

The agency urges Lower Bucks County residents to:

Turn Around, Don’t Drown

Safety first—avoid driving through flooded waters. Flooded roads hide dangers like debris and downed power lines, reduce tire traction, and are difficult to judge in depth. Stay off the roads during heavy rain and flooding to keep yourself and others safe.

Turn Up Your Emergency Preparedness

Enhance readiness with these steps:

• Review Your Plan: Know what to do in case of power outages or evacuation.
• Check Your Supplies: Ensure your emergency kit is stocked with essentials.
• Stay Connected: Have a battery-powered radio for updates if the power goes out.
• Communicate: Share your storm plan with family members and ensure everyone’s prepared.
• Be proactive and safe as the storm approaches.
