There are ways you can protect your property from flood damage before the flood occurs. If there is an imminent flood threat, you can take these Emergency Measures:
The City’s Planning and Building Department can help you determine which of these methods is most appropriate for your home, and you will need a permit to make permanent retrofits to your home or building. If you’re interested in elevating your home above the flood level, the city may be able to apply for a federal grant that would cover 75% of the cost.
More information on floods and the risks to property owners can be found at the FloodSmart website.
