When hurricanes and other storms bring unusually high amounts of rain in a short amount of time, flooding can result. It is a natural condition for our state, but a condition that can have serious implications for Florida’s residents. Partnerships between individuals and government entities are necessary to minimize flooding impacts, protect personal property and assist flood victims during and after storm events. Learn more about the District’s role in flooding emergencies. If you are experiencing flooding, your first contact should be your local government. County emergency management agencies (EMAs) also prepare for emergencies year-round. Their websites provide information to assist residents in preparing for emergencies. During emergencies, instructions and information regarding evacuation, shelters, food and water distribution are coordinated and disseminated by officials at county EMAs. They also provide contact information on their websites for local agencies within their counties that provide community support to impacted residents. Many county EMAs also maintain Facebook and Twitter accounts that are frequently updated with information. County emergency management websites and social media Visit your local government’s website and follow their social media feeds for the latest updates during a storm.
