Flood emergency response planning guide

Whether from overland flooding or sewer backup, property damage and associated business interruption from water infiltration is becoming more prevalent throughout the world.

Spring flooding caused by a combination of snowmelt and significant rainfall can expose properties located in or near designated flood regulation zones. Heavy rain events can unleash massive amounts of rainfall in areas previously unaffected by flooding. This can overwhelm municipal storm sewers, causing sewers to back up into buildings. While it can be challenging to manage these events, preplanning can help mitigate their impact.
