The physical safety of you, your loved ones, and your pets should always come first in a flood situation.
Follow the local news, and weather, and sign up for emergency alerts to stay informed. Prepare a communication strategy in case of power interruption.
Elevate and secure all of your essential utilities, such as electrical panels, propane tanks, electrical outlets, wiring, appliances, and heating systems.
Move furniture and valuables to a secure location, such as an attic or the top floor of your home, when flooding is expected or near.
The best approach to guard your residence and possessions against flood damage is to buy flood insurance.
Birth certificates, passports, medical documents, and insurance paperwork should all be kept in a secure, dry location. Specify a waterproof safety deposit box for original papers.
