A Flood-prone County Prepares For Floods

Good afternoon all,

Per ...

Article mentions their prior flooding emergency evacuations and road closures. Do check your routes for any realistic possibility of road closures. I don't have to check. This place is an island unless leaving early on. My shack is on a hill in a forest. Flooding is of no concern. Winds and fires are.

I note a "Flood Warning Center". Is this an independent organization and facility or part of the county's EOC ? Perhaps I should ask about their grants from FEMA.

Shouldn't hazardous lawn chemicals already be safely stored to protect against the area's perils. Here it is flooding. If it wasn't initially done, I can't believe some busy and stressded-out private citizen will properly store the chemicals.
