Floods Don’t Wait, and Neither Should You

Tuesday, March 11, 2025 from 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET

Flooding can happen anywhere, at any time. Understanding flood insurance is essential to protecting property, finances, and peace of mind. Whether people live in a high-risk area or not, misconceptions about flood insurance often prevent property owners from acting.

Join the Region 2 National Preparedness and Hazard Mitigation Divisions for an interactive session that highlights the value of flood insurance, clarifies what it does and doesn’t cover, and addresses common concerns like cost, eligibility, and perceived risks. Now is the time for people to protect the lives they have built.

Bring your questions and join us as we dispel myths, share insights, and discuss why the best time to act is now.

Who should attend? Whole community partners, Individuals and families, Volunteer and faith-based organizations, Local, State, Federal government, Private Sector including realtors and insurance agents.
