and the National Weather Service (NWS) have a variety of tools to help you prepare for flooding. Start by being informed – know your risk, where turn for the latest information, and what you should do if flooding impacts you. “Flooding is the most common and
costliest disaster in the United States – it can occur in any community at any time. In a flood, your life depends on being prepared which is why we encourage individuals, commuters, families, and communities to prepare,” stated FEMA Region III Regional Administrator
MaryAnn Tierney. Know the terms for flooding:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Being prepared for potential flooding means taking action now. Many simple actions can prepare you for potential floods and protect lives and property from the impacts
of flood waters. “Sign up to get emergency alerts from your local government. Don’t attempt to drive through flood waters, risking your life and that of those who could have to rescue you. Considering purchasing flood insurance, which provides the best protection
against financial ruin after a flood,” stated Tierney. Check with your local officials for the latest information, and sign up for emergency alerts – these can come through to your phone to update you on potential flood risks. Follow official sources for weather
updates as well – as rain continues to accumulate, water may rise and inundate streets and bridges. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads – just one foot of water can sweep your vehicle away and it can be difficult to determine how deep the water may be.
