Flood Awareness Week

The week is the National Weather Service's (NWS) National Flood Safety Awareness Week. This awareness week is intended to highlight some of the many ways floods can occur, the hazards associated with floods, and what you can do to save life and property. Each day this week the NWS focus on an area of flooding, such as Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS), Turn Around Don't Drown (TADD), Floods, Droughts and other Related Phenomena, Flood Insurance, and Flood Safety. According to the NWS, in the long term, floods kill more people in the United States than other severe weather.
