Prepare for flooding

9/25/2020 (Permalink)

According to the National Weather Service, "Approximately seventy-five percent of all presidential disaster declarations are associated with flooding." NOAA Lists the most common flood hazards in the United States as:

• Flash Flooding
• River Flooding
• Storm surge and coastal inundation
• Burn scars/Debris flows
• Ice/ Debris jams
• Snowmelt
• Drywash
• Dam Breaks/Levee Failure

Just because you have not experienced a flood foes not mean you wont. In fact 20% of all claims paid the National Flood Insurance Program were for policies in low-risk communities. On average, floods cost $3.5 billion in annual losses in the US. Commercial floods average nearly $75,000.
