Flood Preparedness

Floods strike quickly and with little warning. Follow these Red Cross guidelines to be prepared in case of a dangerous flood. Or, visit the Red Cross store to shop for kits to keep any home, office, car or school prepared for any emergency.

Prepare a Disaster Kit Containing...

First aid kit and essential medications.
Canned food and can opener.
At least three gallons of water per person
Protective clothing, rainwear, and bedding or sleeping bags.
Battery-powered radio, flashlight, and extra batteries.
Special items for infants, elderly, or disabled family members.
Written instructions for how to turn off electricity, gas and water if authorities advise you to do so. (Remember, you'll need a professional to turn them back on.)
Identify where you could go if told to evacuate. Choose several places... a friend's home in another town, a motel, or a shelter.

The Red Cross safety kits are essential to every home at risk. Get prepared by shopping the store.

Reduce Potential Flood Damage By:

Raising your furnace, water heater, and electric panel if they are in areas of your home that may be flooded.
Consult with a professional for further information if this and other damage reduction measures can be taken.

Floods Can Take Several Hours to Days to Develop

A flood WATCH means a flood is possible in your area.
A flood WARNING means flooding is already occurring or will occur soon in your area.

Flash Floods Can Take Only a Few Minutes to a Few Hours to Develop

A flash flood WATCH means flash flooding is possible in your area.
A flash flood WARNING means a flash flood is occurring or will occur very soon.
