#FloodSafety — It’s Not Luck!

Flooding is the most common natural disaster in the United States. Anywhere it rains, it can flood. Learn your risk level for floods by entering your address at https://msc.fema.gov/portal/search

Understand the difference between a flood watch and a flood warning. The National Weather Service often issues a flood watch before a flood warning. A watch means you should begin preparing for a possible evacuation because flooding is possible. A flood warning means flooding is occurring or about to occur, and you should take immediate action to protect yourself. It’s not luck! Plan how you will leave and where you will go if you are advised to evacuate.
