Monsoon season is here for us desert dwellers. Here with some helpful hints for traveling through monsoon territory is Rebecca Havely…
Before traveling check the weather and traffic conditions. Make sure your car is in good running condition. Bring plenty of water and snacks, required medications, a charged cell phone with car charger, blankets and sturdy shoes. Pay attention and follow any directions given by road signs, road work personnel, law enforcement, or emergency responders. Be especially cautious at night. Never attempt crossing a “Road Closed” sign or flooded roadway. In the event of an emergency call 9-1-1. Slow down, be prepared and turn around don’t drown.
After a monsoon event, be alert for Caltrans crews cleaning the highways and give the crews plenty of room.
