Spring brings threat of flooding Spring is here. The past winter's show has melted and spring rains can be expected for the next few months. Now is the time to act to protect property from one of spring's most deadly companions: floods. Action taken now can help to minimize the impact of flooding. The following tips on what to do are suggested by the Federal Emergency Management Agency: J Learn the safest route from your home and place of business to high, safe ground. If you are asked to evacuate in a hurry (Particularly at nighft, knowledge of the roads provides an extra margin for safety. Never attempt to drive through water on the road since sections of the road or bridge may have already been washed away. Move immediately to higher ground as the flood- waters may still be rising. Keep a battery-powered radio, emergency cooking equipment and flashlights in working order at home. Also maintain a supply of food that needs no refrigeration. Residents of frequently flooded area should keep materials such as sandbags, plywood, plastic sheeting and lumber which can be used to protect property. Sandbags should not be stacked directly against the outer wall of a building, since wet sandbags can create added pressure on a structure. Purchase flood insurance. A homeowners or business in* surance policy will not protect a resident from flood loss. Flood insurance can be obtained through the Federal Insurance Administration's National Flood Insurance Program. Contact a local insurance agent or "broker for information about eligibility. There is normally a five-day waiting period for the policy to become effective. Make an itemized list of , personal property, including, furnishings, clothing and valuables. Keep this list and your insurance policies in a secure location, such as a safe deposit box:. Photograph your home inside and out. This will help verify losses when filing a flood claim. It will also prove helpful should you have any other type of home insurance claim. A more complete listing of steps to take before, duringltmd after a flood is published in the NFIP pamphlet, "In the Event of a Flood."
