Flood Safety Awareness Week (March 15-19)
Every year, our community is at a heightened flood risk during the spring and summer months as warm days, heavy rains and severe storms sweep across the region. Only a flood insurance policy will provide financial protection against flood damage. Developed by NFIP's FloodSmart Campaign in partnership with NOAA, a new interactive flood map is now available to help you better identify your individualized flood risks. Go to www.floodsmart.gov/noaafloodweek to learn more about the financial costs of flooding, how to get a policy, and in the event that a flood occurs, how best to recover.Upcoming Certified Floodplain Manager Exams
