If your home is located in a flood-prone area, consider purchasing flood insurance. Buying flood insurance to cover the value of your home and its contents will not only provide greater peace of mind but will speed the recovery if a flood occurs.

Make a record of your personal property for insurance purposes. Take photos or a video of the interior and exterior of your home. Include personal belongings in your inventory. Store a copy of your home inventory photos, video, and/or written records in your Family Preparedness Kit.

Consider saving money in an emergency savings account that could be used in any crisis. It is advisable to keep a small amount of cash at home in a safe place where you can quickly access it in case of evacuation or if there is a widespread power outage and banks are closed.
