Early Spring Flood Outlook Calls for Elevated Flood Threat

Prepare Now for Spring Flooding In the home, be prepared to deal with spring by being sure you have a functioning sump pump and a back up. Have enough food and water in your home to last at least 3 days if flood waters cause road access to be cut off. Know your alternate routes if flooding causes roads to be closed. Consider buying flood insurance. Flood insurance can take up to 30 days to go into effect, and just 1 inch of flooding can cause more than $25k in damage to your home.
