Spring is here and as the snow in the mountains begins to thaw and water levels in stream, rivers and lakes rise residents are once again asked to ensure you are prepared in case of emergencies.  Property owners in flood prone and low-lying areas are responsible for protecting their own properties from possible flood damage. Equipping yourself with a flood plan and the tools needed in case of a flood can help prepare you.
