Prepare Your Home, Condo or Apartment

Assign flood wardens at your facility if you live in a condo or apartment
Have a list of residents and know your muster point in the event the entire facility is evacuated
Check your insurance policy to see if it covers flooding with overland flood insurance – many policies do not cover high risk areas
Make a list of your household inventory and belongings to be ready for future insurance claims (take pictures or take a video of each room)
For homes along the shoreline, think about temporary flood measures like sandbagging
Have large signs on hand to put in your window during an emergency (Green with word ‘Ok!’, Red with word ‘Help!’)
Make a list of things to do immediately if you need to evacuate (shutting off gas appliances, water tank, electricity etc.)
Have a backup power outage source like a generator on hand
Know who to call or what to do if utilities need to be shut off
