You can begin this process by gathering family members and making sure each person is well-informed on potential hazards and community plans. Discuss with them what you would do
if family members are not home when a warning is issued.
Hurricanes cause heavy rains and become tropical systems that can also cause extensive flood damage in coastal and inland areas. Everyone is at risk and should consider flood
insurance protection. Flood insurance is the only way to financially protect your property or business from flood damage.
Flood insurance is affordable and available through nearly 100 insurance companies in more than 21,000 participating communities nationwide. To learn more about your flooding
risk and how to protect yourself and your business, visit the NFIP Web site, www.floodsmart.gov or call 1-800-427-2419.
