Essential Flood Safety: Preparing, Responding, and Recovering for You and Your Community

Preparation is key when it comes to flood safety. Create an emergency plan that includes a designated meeting place for your family and a communication strategy. Ensure everyone knows the plan and practices it regularly. Additionally, having an emergency kit ready with essentials like water, non-perishable food, a flashlight, batteries, and first aid supplies can be a lifesaver. This kit should be stored in an easily accessible location and should be updated regularly to keep its contents fresh.
