Ready NH Dot Gov states:
Be Safe During Floods
During a flood it is important to be aware and knowledgeable on what is happening. Listen to news reports, secure important items to higher ground and get ready to make the decision to stay or go. If you are advised to evacuate, do so immediately. Evacuation is simple and safer before the flood waters rise. Don’t forget your Emergency Kit, which should include your Emergency Contacts Card, and your Family Emergency Plan 
which includes your evacuation location options. Have your evacuation plan ready and follow recommended routes. Know that flash flooding can occur. If there is any possibility of a flash flood, move to higher ground right away. Do not wait for instructions to move.
If you leave your house, remember:
- Turn Around, Don’t Drown! ®
- Avoid walking or driving through flood waters.
- Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 1 foot of water can sweep your vehicle away.
- Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you.
- Listen to the radio or television for information.
