Hi, I'm Buddy the
emergency preparedness mascot.
Did you know that Maryland is subject to flooding from several different
sources?
Flash floods tend to come after short periods of rain and most often affect small streams
and creeks.
Hurricanes and tropical storms
can cause surges that cause tidal flooding along Maryland's bay and tributaries.
Most homeowner policies do not cover floods.
Is your home in a flood-prone area?
If it is, you should consider obtaining flood insurance to protect you and your home.
