HOW TO SURVIVE A MUD SLIDE

---

1 Run perpendicular to the slide.

Seek high ground.

2 Avoid riverbeds.

Mud and debris flows generally travel in the channels made by rivers, creeks, and streams.

3 Seek shelter.

If you do not have time to escape the slide, get inside a building that has a foundation built into the ground.

4 Move to an upper floor.

5 Take cover under a desk, large table, or other heavy piece of furniture.
