Flood Safety Awareness Week

As we get closer and closer to spring and summer, it's important to not only have a preparedness plan for severe weather, it's also important to have a safety plan in place if flooding were to occur.  Even if you don't live in a flood prone area, flash flooding can become a major issue with heavy downpours from thunderstorms.  And because of that, it's important to know what to do should that occur in your neighborhood.
