 declared Monday March 14 through Friday March 18 2016 as Flood
 Safety Awareness Week. Each day during the work week will feature
 information about a different flood related topic.
 Monday’s Message…
 Flood Safety: Nearly every day, flooding happens somewhere in the
 United States or its territories. Flooding can occur in any of the
 fifty states or U.S. territories at any time of the year. It causes
 more damage in the United States than any other weather related
 event. On average, floods cause eight billion dollars in damages and
 eighty-nine fatalities annually. More than half of these deaths are
 the result of driving into flood waters. Being prepared and knowing
 how to stay safe will help you and your loved ones survive a flood.
 Be a Force of Nature.
