At I. Dachs & Sons, we believe that preparation is the key to safety and resilience. Explore our comprehensive resources for Flood Preparedness, tailored to help you protect your family, home, and business.
Floods are the most common natural disaster in the U.S. Advance preparation can save lives and property, as well as minimize damage and risk.
How to Prepare for Floods:
- Know Your Flood Risk: Check local flood maps and understand your insurance needs. Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance.
- Protect Your Home: Elevate electrical systems, install sump pumps, and keep valuables on higher floors.
- Evacuation Planning: Know your evacuation routes and have a plan for pets.
- During Floods: Never walk or drive through floodwaters. Move to higher ground immediately.
- After Floods: Avoid flood-damaged areas, watch for hazards, and document damage for insurance claims.
