Southwest Grand Rapids, FLOODING CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE

Flooding can happen anywhere. Are you prepared?

According the National Weather Service (NOAA), “Approximately 75% of all Presidential disaster declarations are associated with flooding.” NOAA lists the most common flood hazards in the United Sates as:

• Flash Flooding
• River Flooding
• Strom Surge and Coastal Inundation from Tropical and Non-Tropical Systems
• Burns Scars/Debris Flows (Caused by wildfires)
• Ice/Debris jams
• Snowmelt
• Dry Wash (Caused by heavy rainfall in dry areas)
• Dam Breaks/Levee Failure

Just because you haven’t experienced a flood doesn’t mean you won’t in the future. In fact, 20% of all claims paid by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) were for policies in low-risk communities. ON average, floods cost $3.5 billion in annual losses in the U.S., and commercial flood claims average more than $75,000 (NFIP).
