What would you do?
What would you do if your property was flooded?
Are you prepared?
Even if you feel you live in a community with a lowrisk of flooding, remember that anywhere it rains, it canflood.
Just because you haven't experienced a flood in thepast, doesn't mean you won't in the future.
Flood risk isn't just based on history; it's also basedon a number of factors including rainfall , topography,
flood-control measures, river-flow and tidal-surge data,and chan es due to new construction and develo ment.
