We’ve got lots of water in Central Virginia. Sometimes we even have hurricane generated floods (think Hurricanes like Camille , Agnes , and Isabel ). The Virginia Department of Emergency Management provides lots of good information on preparing for hurricanes.
Check out Floodsmart.gov for lots of good information on flooding and flood risks ; the National Flood Insurance Program ; and Residential Coverage. One page also includes lots of information to help homeowners understand Flood Insurance.
