Floods are one of the most common and widespread natural disasters in the United States. Whether your home or business is near a coastline, along a city streets, in the mountains, near a river, or even in the desert, there is always potential for flood damage. FEMA.gov reports in the last 5 years, all 50 states have experienced floods or flash floods. Just because you haven't experienced a flood in the past does not mean you won't in the future. In fact, nearly 20% of all flood insurance claims come from moderate-to-low risk areas, and even just one inch of flood damage in an average home can cost you up to $27,000.

According to the American Red Cross, floods cause more damage in the U.S. every year any other weather related disaster. The American Red Cross offers the following safety tips. 

  • Stay away from floodwaters. If you come up on a flowing stream where water is above your ankles, sop, turn around, and go another way. Six inches of swiftly moving water can sweep you off your feet.
  • If you approach a flooded road while driving, turn around and go another way. If you are caught on a flooded road and waters are rising rapidly around you, get our of the car quickly and move to higher ground. Most cars can be swept away by less than two feet of moving water.
  • Keep children out of the water. They are curious and often lack judgment about running water or contaminated water.
