Flooding can be a very costly disaster. The risk for flooding can vary within the same neighborhood and even property to property. Flooding can occur not only in identified high-risk areas, but may also occur in areas that may not have been identified as high risk. More than 20 percent of flood claims are from low to moderate flood risk areas.
The County has assessed the storm sewer system and is working on system improvements. Here are steps that you can take as a property owner to reduce your risk of flooding.
