To research your home’s risks of flooding, here are some resources that can help:

• FEMA: https://msc.fema.gov/portal/search
  
• National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), FEMA Mapping and Insurance eXchange (FMIX) at 877-336-2627 or visit www.floodsmart.gov.
  
• For a fee, FirstStreet.org can provide you with details about a property’s flood, fire, and wind risk.

The Virginia Department of Emergency Management website includes detailed advice on how to prepare your home against damage during Hurricanes, what to pack in an emergency kit, and how to protect your pets during natural disasters.
