• Make sure you know the safest routes to and from home should flooding occur.
• Create a family communication plan to stay in touch with loved ones.
• Protect your pets. Be sure they have proper identification (microchip).
• Have transportation ready for all larger animals under your responsibility.When Rains Begin:
• Leave early if your property is in a flood zone. Water levels can rise fast once storms start. Do not hesitate to move if you see rising water.
