Salina Post
Saline County announced that the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has closed K-4 at Gypsum due to water on the roads.
According to Saline County, the road will reopen once the waters recede.
Saline County has given safety recommendations when traveling on roads that may be wet:
TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN - never attempt to drive through flooded roads.
Know your risk. Check if your home or workplace is in a flood-prone area.
Have an emergency kit ready with essentials: water, food, medications, flashlight, batteries, and important documents.
Stay out of floodwaters. They can hide debris, downed power lines, or dangerous currents.
Avoid walking through moving water; as little as six inches can knock an adult off their feet.
Secure outdoor items that could become airborne due to high winds.
Avoid unnecessary travel during periods of severe weather, especially if snow reduces visibility.
Monitor local weather updates frequently in multiple ways by listening to the NOAA Weather Radio, checking local news and emergency notifications. You can also stay informed by following Saline County and the National Weather Service on social media.
