Flood Safety Awareness Week March 15-19, 2010

Flooding is a coast to coast threat to the United States and its territories in all months of the year. National Flood Safety Awareness Week is intended to highlight some of the many ways floods can occur, the hazards associated with floods, and what you can do to save life and property.

Most Americans ignore the risks of flooding, assuming they aren’t in a flood zone. The reality is, floods are America’s #1 natural disaster and can happen anytime, anywhere. In fact, 90% of all natural disasters in the U.S. involve flooding. Educate yourself on the risks and impacts of flooding during National Flood Safety Awareness Week so you can protect your family and your property.

  • Educate yourself on the impact a flood could have on you and your family. Then safeguard your home and possessions with flood insurance.

  • Follow your emergency plan: If possible, evacuate; avoid risky areas; and listen to a battery-operated radio to stay informed.
