This spring we have an average snowpack in the mountains but a very cool spring has delayed melting of the snow, increasing our chances for flooding. Water is powerful! If you live or travel across a floodplain, be prepared! If you need to evacuate, take pets with you. Don't tie up livestock. Look at the links included to get more information.
These links contain helpful information on how to prepare yourself to protect your family and property from damage during a flood. http://www.redcross.org/services/prepare/0,1082,0_240_,00.html http://www.fema.gov/hazard/flood/index.shtm background info http://www.floodsafety.noaa.gov/ http://www.floodsmart.gov/floodsmart/pages/flood_facts.jsp
