Moving Vehicles to Higher Ground During Flood Watches/Warnings
When a Flood Watch is issued, the Village will send out a CodeRED message to subscribers and post the announcement on its communication channels. During Flood Watches/Warnings, vehicles may be relocated to adjacent residential streets on higher ground, including Downtown Lisle. A detailed map highlighting flood watch/warning parking options may be reviewed should you need to move your vehicle. If you choose to move your vehicle to higher ground, please park only along the north and east sides of residential roads to allow room for emergency vehicles. Display your phone number on the dashboard so that police may contact you if necessary.
