Here are a few ways to prepare for a flood

Though it seems difficult, preparing for a flood is possible to minimize the effect of the damage. Here are a few ways to prepare for a flood:

• Visit FEMA's Flood Map Service Center to know the types of flood risk in your area.  Also, make sure to sign up for your community’s warning system. 
• Purchase or renew a flood insurance policy. It can take up to 30 days for a policy to go into effect so allow plenty of time.
• Make a plan for your household that includes what to do, where to go, and what you will need to protect yourselves from flooding. Make sure to be aware of evacuation routes.
• Keep important documents in a waterproof container. Protect your property by moving valuables to higher levels. Also, consider a sump pump with a battery.

SERVPRO of Framingham is available 24/7 including holidays and weekends to assist you and help you with water damage. “Like it never even happened.”
