Most Americans ignore the risks of flooding, assuming they aren’t in a flood zone. The reality is, floods are America’s #1 natural disaster and can happen anytime, anywhere. In fact, 90% of all natural disasters in the U.S. involve flooding.

Educate yourself on the risks and impacts of flooding during National Flood Awareness Week so you can protect your family and your property.

Learn how flooding can affect your neighborhood at NOAA’s safety website and be prepared for any flood scenario.

Being prepared for a flood can not only help keep your family safe, it can also help minimize potential flood damage and reduce the costs of recovery.

Educate yourself on the impact a flood could have on you and your family. Then safeguard your home and possessions with flood insurance.
