The past few weeks of seemingly non-stop rain have made for a soggy Georgia. Parts of the state have been issued flash flood warnings throughout June and into July. Georgia is no stranger in floods, in 2009 north Georgia experienced what scientists call one of the worst floods in the country in the last 100 years. Almost half of the state's annual rainfall fell in some areas in just 24 hours. Ten people lost their lives, and the state insurance commissioner estimated the resulting damage to cost $250 million.
There are things you can do now to prepare yourself for floods. Check out the Ready Georgia floods and flash floods page for more information on flood preparedness and safety.
- Know your area's flood risk – if unsure, call your local emergency management agency.
- Property insurance does not typically cover flood damage, so talk to your insurance provider about your policy and consider if you need additional coverage.
