Flood Preparedness

Heavy rainfall and rapidly changing weather conditions can increase the risk of basement flooding, overland flooding, and localized street flooding. Residents are encouraged to take preventive measures before flooding occurs to help protect their homes, businesses, and personal property.

Key flood preparedness actions include:

• Ensure sump pumps and backwater valves are functioning properly.
• Keep eavestroughs and downspouts clear and direct water away from your foundation.
• Move valuables and important documents to higher levels.
• Review and update your family emergency plan.
• Keep sandbags and other emergency waterproofing materials available if your property is prone to flooding.
