ELSA MOVING QUICKLY ACROSS THE DELMARVA TOWARD DELAWARE BAY

NEW INFORMATION

SITUATION OVERVIEW

Tropical Storm Elsa will lift across the Delmarva toward the northeast
and New England today...with improving conditions across the lower
mid-Atlantic region. However, marine conditions will continue
to be hazardous to small craft this morning.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS

When entering areas that have been damaged, bring along a
GPS-enabled device to help with street navigation. Do not drive on
roads that have been marked closed.

Do not go sightseeing within impacted communities. Sightseers
interfere with the emergency work of first responders.

When inspecting damage, use flashlights rather than candles or flamed
lanterns. Be aware of sparks that can ignite natural gas or other
leaking flammables.

Do not go up on your roof until the weather conditions are safe.
Ladders can be slippery in the rain and unexpected wind gusts can
blow you off the roof.

When clearing out fallen trees, be careful with chainsaws and axes.
Always wear protective gear and keep others at a safe distance.
Leaning trees and those which have fallen on roofs or power lines can
be especially dangerous. If you are not in good health or unsure
about what you are doing, have someone with tree cutting experience
do the job. Never cut trees without a partner.

If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following
instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in
a well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from
open doors and windows.

Problems with sewer backups can further contaminate standing flood
waters. Keep children away from flood waters. Also, listen for boil
water alerts as tap water may have become non-potable.

Be alert for any lingering wind gusts which could take down weakened
trees and/or power lines, collapse damaged structures, or cause
flying debris.

Be alert for potential flooding from rising rivers and streams which
may have yet to crest. Remain informed of the latest river forecasts
and heed any flood watches and warnings.

Be alert for flooded roads which could be compromised or littered
with debris. Avoid travel until water levels subside and roads have
been cleared. Do not drive through places where flood waters cover
the road. Turn around, don't drown!

NEXT UPDATE

As it pertains to this event...this will be the last local statement
issued by the National Weather Service in Wakefield VA regarding the
effects of tropical cyclone hazards upon the area.
