Once again, the NFIP is partnering with the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Weather Service (NWS) to promote Flood Safety Awareness Week (March 15-19). Throughout the week, it is important to remind Americans of their flood risk and ways they can safeguard their homes and assets, including purchasing a flood insurance policy. This week serves as a great opportunity for communities to remind residents that a flood insurance policy is the best financial protection against flooding and that most homeowners insurance policies do NOT cover flood damage.

Every year, communities are at a heightened flood risk during the spring and summer months as warm days, heavy rains and severe storms sweep across the region. It is critical that communities reach out to local residents now to communicate their increased flood risk and encourage them to protect themselves with flood insurance – only a flood insurance policy will provide financial protection against flood damage.

A new interactive flood map is now available to help you better educate your community residents about their individualized flood risks. This resource depicts how floods have impacted millions of Americans in recent years, and provides users with localized flood event data and damage statistics. Developed by the NFIP’s FloodSmart Campaign, in partnership with NOAA, this interactive flood map is being promoted in conjunction with Flood Safety Awareness Week to offer visitors a more accurate picture of the causes and magnitude of flooding in their area. You are encouraged to link to the map on the Flood Safety Awareness Week landing page located at www.floodsmart.gov/noaafloodweek <http://www.floodsmart.gov/noaafloodweek> and share this information with your community residents so they can learn more about the financial costs of flooding, how to get a policy, and in the event that

Snowplowing Reminder

With winter approaching, the village will resume snowplowing as needed. The plow blade extends several feet in front of the plow truck, and often crosses the centerline of the road. To avoid vehicle damage, motorists should not tailgate or attempt to pass the plow truck. The truck may make sudden stops, travel much slower than posted speeds, and turn frequently. It also spreads deicing materials from the rear broadcaster, so motorists should avoid following too closely. Please remember that the driver’s field of vision is restricted by the plow and the salt spreader, so don’t assume that just because you can see the plow, the driver can see you. Have a safe winter!
