Immediate Response

During the initial response, prioritize evacuation if necessary, and ensure everyone in the household is safe. If you need assistance, call emergency services or seek help from friends and family.

• Purchase a sump pump or a backup power source to prevent water damage
• Clear gutters and downspouts to direct rainwater away from your home
• Seal any gaps or cracks in walls, windows, and doors to prevent water entry

Preparations Are Key To A Successful Recovery

Before a flood disaster occurs, make sure your home is prepared. Regularly inspect and maintain your roof, gutters, and downspouts to prevent damage from future floods.

• Consider installing a waterproofing system on your roof
• Keep emergency supplies, such as food, water, and medications, on hand
• Stay informed about weather forecasts and flood warnings in your area
