Flood Safety Awareness Week starts today
March 16, 2009
NOAA is offering a brand-new website this year to
share useful information on flood safety. The site includes a map of major floods from the last decade or so, including the floods of 2008 that caused some $5 billion in damage throughout our region. Many communities have been undertaking major efforts to prepare for future flooding by obtaining
flood-cleanup pumps,
portable emergency pumping stations, and
portable dams.
