PREPARE.
Take a few moments to prepare for a flooding emergency.
  • Create an emergency flood kit. Be sure to include important paperwork such as copies of insurance policies and birth certificates, extra batteries and flashlights, a battery-powered radio, medications and food and drinkable water for at least 72 hours. 
  • Don’t forget your pets! Find carriers for cats, leashes for dogs and be sure to include any of their medications and food in your emergency kit. 
  • Identify and document your personal belongings. This information can be used after a flood, if necessary.
  • Keep roof gutters and downspouts clean and clear.
  • Keep yards and driveways clear of debris.
  • Have trees pruned or removed if they are a danger to you or your neighbor’s property.
  • Make repairs to walls, roofs and drainage systems before storms arrive.
  • Have heater and fireplaces cleaned and checked for safety before storm season
  • Stay off the roads during storm events unless absolutely necessary.
  • Create a plan. Talk with family members about where to go and what to do during a flood emergency. 
  • Follow the directions provided via media and by the Police and Fire Departments to ensure that you are heading in the safest possible direction.
SAFETY TIPS
  • Turn Around, Don’t Drown - Avoid walking or driving through flood waters.
