What to do before a Flood

03/27/2025

An area can flood with little warning; create a plan and build a disaster supply kit that keeps you and your family safe. Consider purchasing flood insurance even if you are outside of a designated flood zone. Protect your home with wet and dry floodproofing methods.

If a flood is imminent, deploy sandbags to redirect stormwater and debris flows away from your home. Keep essential electronics fully charged. Evacuate if ordered to do so.

To prepare your business or organization for flooding, download the free Ready Business Inland Flooding Toolkit to kickstart your planning.
