Flood Warning and Mitigation

Floods can occur with little warning, causing significant damage to property and endangering lives. This page provides essential information on flood warnings, mitigation strategies, evacuation plans, and best practices to ensure safety.

Recommendations for Flood Preparedness

• Stay informed by monitoring weather forecasts and alerts from local authorities.
• Prepare an emergency kit with necessary supplies such as food, water, medications, and a first-aid kit.
• Identify safe evacuation routes and have a plan in place for all family members.
• Protect important documents by storing them in waterproof containers.
• Install flood barriers and sandbags around your property if flooding is imminent.

Flood Evacuation Plan

1. Move to higher ground immediately when a flood warning is issued.
2. Avoid walking or driving through floodwaters. It only takes a small amount of water to sweep a person or vehicle away.
3. If evacuation orders are given, follow the instructions of local officials without delay.
4. Have a communication plan for contacting family members during the evacuation.
5. Keep a portable emergency kit ready and bring it with you.

Best Practices for Flood Mitigation

Drainage Improvements

Ensure that gutters, storm drains, and downspouts are clear of debris to promote proper water flow.

Landscaping

Use water-resistant plants and grading techniques to direct water away from the foundation of your home.

Foundation Sealing

Seal cracks in walls, basements, and foundations to prevent water seepage.

Elevating Utilities

Elevate electrical systems, furnaces, and other utilities above potential flood levels to reduce damage risks.
