Who can go to a flood-affected area?

Access is controlled in flood-affected areas to protect people and keep rescue efforts moving smoothly. Only official responders—police, fire, and EMS—have the authority, training, and protective gear to operate safely in dangerous conditions and coordinate with incident command. Residents, contractors, and journalists generally need authorization to enter, because unapproved presence can hinder operations or put people at risk. So, the group that can go into a flood zone by default is official personnel, such as police, fire, and EMS.
