After the Storm
Do not let your guard down completely after an emergency. After a flood, stay safe around floodwaters and when reentering your home. Make sure you are ready for the next event by restocking your supply kit and re-storing all important documents. When there is no immediate threat, create an emergency plan to help keep you and your family safe during the next storm.
