Downtown Camden along Market Street remains one of the area's flood-prone locations, where signs warn motorists to park at their own risk. Residents say flooding has caused significant problems during recent storms.
"The street really gets a lot of water. I mean it really- I saw the cars up on the sidewalk, and it was a lot," said a Camden resident.
The concern comes just three weeks after flooding affected parts of the city.
Camden city officials said crews spent the day clearing storm drains and inlets in an effort to prepare for anticipated heavy rainfall.
County emergency crews are also on standby and ready to respond if flooding develops.
"As we've seen recently with these flash floods, cars get stuck in water. This vehicle is able to get to those cars," said Joseph Hales, Camden County's emergency management coordinator.
Ahead of the expected severe weather, county officials showcased an all-hazards rescue vehicle capable of driving through up to five feet of water. Hales said floodwaters can pose hidden dangers that many people underestimate and encouraged residents to stay home if possible when flash flooding is forecast.
"It's the hazards you can't see under the water. The manhole covers. The storm grates. Debris. Things like that where you can't see it and once you realize it it's too late," Hales said.
Heavy rains earlier this month caused significant flooding in areas including Camden.
On Monday, several drivers were stranded in Hammonton in Atlantic County after storms flooded roadways.
Camden County officials said the communications center is prepared for a potential increase in 911 calls during severe weather, with additional staff available if needed.
"We definitely need more call takers when that happens. Everybody has a cell phone. Everybody is calling in the same call. We'll get maybe three calls for that one location," said Jeannie Moore, communications chief for Camden County.
Officials said they will continue monitoring conditions throughout the area and are encouraging residents to remain home. Some events have also been canceled in an effort to keep people off the roads during the expected weather.
