Preparations To Make Before A Flood Occurs

It is important to develop a safety plan ahead of any flood events.
Make sure that you know where your safe place is and know the area around you.
Do roads near you flood frequently? Is your home in a floodplain?
Do you know the quickest way to get to higher ground?
Do you have flood insurance?
Be sure to know the answer to these questions and more BEFORE a flood event occurs.
Develop a communications plan for your family in the event of an emergency.
Designate a meeting place for everyone to meet at and have emergency contact information for each family member.
Flood events can devastate communities.
Make sure your neighbors are prepared beforehand and help those around you recover afterwards.
