PREPARE FOR A FLOOD Keep
emergency building supplies on hand, such as lumber, plywood,
nails, hammer, saw, sandbags, shovel, crowbar and plastic
sheeting. Plan an evacuation
route and meeting place. Practice the plan with your family.
Keep an emergency weather alert radio on hand. Be sure to always
have backup batteries. Make a written
and video inventory. Keep insurance policies and a list of
personal property in a safe location outside your home. Prevent
floodwater backup by having check valves installed in your
plumbing. Move electrical
system components to a higher location. If possible, secure
shelves and water heaters to walls.
