Federal Emergency Management Agency’s FloodSmart Campaign and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service have announced that they are again working together during Flood Safety Awareness Week (15-19 March) to raise awareness of the dangers associated with flooding and steps to protect against damage. (Some may think Mother Nature is cooperating with this effort in New England and other parts of the U.S.)
As part of their campaign and to help individuals better understand flood risks nationwide and steps that can be taken to protect lives and property, FEMA and NOAA have created an interactive “flood impact map” that features localized, searchable data about the scope and severity of flood events in recent years. The map's web page also contains tips on what to do before, during and after a flood, and encourages flood insurance protection among other measures.
