As part of Severe Weather Preparedness Month, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and local emergency management officials are reminding residents that good preparation and knowing what to do in a flood can increase their chances of survival when flooding occurs.
“More than 2.1 million Illinoisans are all too familiar with the devastating effects of flooding, and some communities are still rebuilding following the historic 2019 flood,” IEMA director Alicia Tate-Nadeau said. “Flood Safety Awareness Week serves as a timely reminder for Illinois residents to prepare for potential spring flooding. Be aware of the flood risks in your community and know the steps to take to keep your family safe in the event of an emergency.”
