Surviving Floods

Surviving Floods equips individuals and families with essential knowledge to prepare for, endure, and recover from one of the most common and dangerous natural disasters. Divided into three clear sections--before, during, and after a flood--it explains how to create an emergency plan, prepare your home, and assemble supplies to stay safe. Practical guidance covers how to react when flooding begins, including evacuation strategies, avoiding hazardous waters, and staying safe if trapped by rising water. Post-event sections provide advice on returning home safely, dealing with power outages and contaminated water, and beginning recovery efforts. Durable, portable, and easy to reference in emergencies, this guide is a vital resource for flood-prone areas, helping families respond confidently and responsibly.
