Our local Beckley team has been helping residents and commercial businesses in Raleigh County mitigate and restore flood damage for over 24 years. Here are some tips from the State of West Virginia’s website for preparing for a flood event:

To prepare for, and protect against, a flood, you should:

• Build an emergency kit
• Make a family communications plan
• Avoid building in a floodplain unless you elevate and reinforce your home
• Elevate the furnace, water heater, and electric panel in your home if you live in an area that has a high flood risk
• Consider installing "check valves" to prevent flood water from backing up into the drains of your home
• If feasible, construct barriers to stop floodwater from entering the building and seal walls in basements with waterproofing compounds

Know the terms to help understand flood hazards:

• Flood Watch - Flooding is possible; tune in to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio or television for information
• Flash Flood Watch - Flash flooding is possible. Be prepared to move to higher ground; listen to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information
• Flood Warning - Flooding is occurring or will occur soon; if advised to evacuate, do so immediately
• Flash Flood Warning - A flash flood is occurring; seek higher ground on foot immediately
