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