With next week being Flood Safety Week in Wisconsin, ReadyWisconsin is encouraging everyone to be prepared for the worst.
As winter thaws and spring rains fall, the changing of seasons signals more than just warmer days; it marks an increase in the likelihood of flooding occurring.
During Flood Safety Awareness Week, ReadyWisconsin is asking everyone to review their flooding risk and take proactive steps to protect their families, homes, and businesses before waters rise.
Wisconsin Emergency Management Administrator Greg Engle explained, “Last year, historic rainfall led to flash flooding, which put communities in danger. Take time now to understand flood risks in your area and learn the steps to take protect yourselves, loved ones and property from floods.”
Flood insurance is available, with details available at FloodSmart.gov.
