FAQ

Common questions

Is a flood map the same as a flood warning?

No. A flood map may show long-term risk or current water conditions. A warning is issued by an official weather or emergency agency.

What is the most important flood safety rule?

Do not drive or walk through floodwater. Depth, current, debris, and electrical hazards are often hidden.
