• Advise the general public of the hazards that exist after a flooding disaster and how to avoid them; and

•Assist victims of flooding in returning to their homes, workplaces or schools as safely and quickly as possible.

This program’s objectives are to:

• Give adult citizens the tools and knowledge they require during the aftermath of floods or flash floods.

• Provide steps to be taken after a flooding disaster in order to preserve life, property and overall health and safety.

•This program provides useful information (electronic and printable) for those who are displaced, evacuated, injured or have experienced damage due to flooding.•Information will focus on health and safety, flood-related risks, cleanup measures, road safety and flood insurance resources. •Up-to-date listings for charitable organizations, local healthcare providers, crisis hotlines and shelters are included.
