Flood Information

Flooding is a serious threat that can occur in any location in the United States and at any time.  Flooding causes the most damage in the United States than any other severe weather related event, causing an average of $5 billion a year.  Many people underestimate the severity of flood events and are often not properly prepared to handle a flood situation.  Safety should be your first priority; stay away from overflowing rivers/streams, flooded roadways, and do not attempt to drive through water-covered roads.  The links below show real-time flood conditions throughout the United States and helpful ways to be prepared and safe during a flood event.
