CHUG: Flood Emergency Management
Flooding can pose an emergency threat year-round, but in the winter, frozen pipes, thawing snow, and other weather disasters can cause flooding as temperatures shift.
Before a flood occurs, it is important to assess the risk where you live. Are there lakes or rivers nearby?
During a flood, it’s essential to store as much clean water as possible. Do you have enough?
After a flood, make sure you use caution when re-entering a property if you were forced to evacuate as structures could be compromised.
