Flooding is one of the most common and devastating natural disasters with the potential to affect communities across Wisconsin.
ReadyWisconsin is urging everyone to take steps to understand the risks flooding can bring.
Gov. Tony Evers has declared February 24th through the 28th as Flood Safety Awareness Week in Wisconsin.
ReadyWisconsin encourages residents to stay informed in regard to the forecast and create an emergency plan.
Homeowners should also consider flood insurance, take actions to keep water out and away from the home, and move valuables out of the basement.
