Flood Safety Preparedness Week begins March 7
The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS), in partnership with the National Weather Service, recognizes Flood Safety Preparedness Week March 7-11. The week encourages all Georgians to prepare for flooding.
Flooding is no stranger to the Southeast and can sometimes be quickly evolving or long in duration. In the last five years, seven large-scale flooding events have made the list of ‘Billion-Dollar Disasters’ nationwide. In the same time, Georgia alone has documented more than 570 flash flood reports, amounting to $10.8 million dollars.
- Monday, March 7 – Flood Safety, Preparedness, and Awareness: Make a plan, build a ready kit and communicate with your household and community so you’re prepared in case of a flood.
- Tuesday, March 8 – Turn Around, Don’t Drown: Never attempt to drive through floodwaters. Two feet of moving water can carry away a full-sized car.
- Wednesday, March 9 – Flood Hazards: Stay out of floodwaters if possible. The water can be contaminated or electrically charged. However, if your car stalls in rapidly rising waters, leave the vehicle and seek higher ground.
- Thursday, March 10 – NWS Water Resources and Services: Many homeowner’s insurance policies don’t cover floods. Make sure you’re financially ready for a flood event by visiting www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-program and remember, flood insurance takes 30 days to take effect, so sooner is better than later.
- Friday, March 11 – Partner Services: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) can provide you with resources and tips to help you prepare for a flood.
