Preparedness

Flooding has affected many parts of the United States over the last few weeks. While floods can be devastating, being prepared and informed can help you and your loved ones stay safe and recover effectively.

Severe storms and flooding have affected a wide swath of the southern and central United States over the past several days, with widespread and significant river flooding expected to continue over the next several days. Threats are expected to remain for another 10-plus days, so if you live in this area or plan to visit, you should remain vigilant.

Now’s the time to prepare for spring storms. Kentucky and West Virginia have already faced floods this year, and much of the Midwest and South are under flood threats this week.
