Health & SafetyCreation date
Flood Safety is highly dependent on how prepared you are - know what to do before, during and after the flooding occurs.
When a major hurricane or other named storm threatens the United States, scientists and weather forecasters are hard at work, in conjunction with the federal government and local and state agencies, in order to warn and guide the public to help keep everyone prepared and safe.
"This year is projected to have a 40 percent chance of being a near-normal season and a 30 percent chance of being above normal", according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Prediction Center’s 2019 hurricane season forecast.
Stay Informed
Early warning Flood Safety information provides the best opportunity for both residents and businesses in the path of the storm to make good decisions and act quickly. Stay informed during storms and listen to officials if evacuation is ordered.
Turn Around, Don't Drown!
If you are in an area where a flood warning is given, stay safe by seeking shelter and by all means do not attempt to drive through flood waters.
Failing to listen to the warnings and evacuation orders can result in injury or death.
Even if you are confident that you know what to do to stay safe - please take a moment to review, just as a reminder, this valuable information....

Also, for businesses, please consider printing and displaying the FEMA Flood Safety Poster where your staff has an opportunity to review the guidelines.
