Preparedness Plan:

1. Get an insurance checkup & document your possessions. A few inches of water in a 1,000-square foot home could cost more than $10,000 in repairs and replacement of personal possessions. Homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover most floods. Use our interactive Flood Zone look up map to see if your home is within a flood zone. Interactive Flood Zone Map link


2. Put together a plan by discussing these 4 questions with your family, friends, or household to start your emergency plan.
• How will I receive Emergency Alerts  (Code Red)?
• What is my shelter plan?
• What is my evacuation route?
• What is my family communication plan?


3. Create an Emergency Plan
Download and fill out a family emergency plan or use them as a guide to create your own.
• Emergency Plan for Parents (pdf)
• Emergency Plan for Kids
• For Pet Owners (pdf)


4. Practice Your Plan with Family/Household
