Flood Information
Flooding is a serious threat that can occur in any location in the
United States and at any time. Flooding causes the most damage in
the United States than any other severe weather related event,
causing an average of $5 billion a year. Many people underestimate
the severity of flood events and are often not properly prepared to
handle a flood situation. Safety should be your first priority;
stay away from overflowing rivers/streams, flooded roadways, and do
not attempt to drive through water-covered roads. The links below
show real-time flood conditions throughout the United States and
helpful ways to be prepared and safe during a flood event.
