In fulfilling the mission of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), it wants to remind the public through several links of how they assist in disaster recovery, including flood mitigation.

• To see the booklet Protecting Your Home and Property from Flood Damage go here.

• For information regarding Missouri severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds and flooding in District 7 go here.

• For a list of cities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) go here. And for a list of insurance agents that can sell the insurance go here.

Despite all that you may have done, natural disasters are unpredictable, and even the best preparations may not hold up in the next flood. So its strongly recommended that homeowners look into purchasing a NFIP policy, especially if the home or business is located in a flood plain or high-risk area.
