Heavy rain in DFW through Friday. Here's what seniors and caregivers can do now.
Floodwater: Never drive or walk into it. Just 12 inches of moving water can sweep away most cars.

Medicine and equipment: Make a plan now for medicine that must stay cold and for medical equipment that needs electricity.
Lights out? If Oncor is your power company, call 1-888-313-4747, or text the word OUT to 66267. Keep the fridge shut. Food stays safe up to 4 hours.
Medical or mobility needs? Call 2-1-1 and ask to sign up for STEAR. It's a free Texas list that tells emergency responders what help you need.
Or sign up online: https://stear.texas.gov
In danger, or see a fallen power line? Leave the area and call 911.
Flooded street in Dallas? Call 311.
Need a safe place to stay? American Red Cross: 1-800-733-2767
