Emergency Preparation if you live in a Flood Zone

If you are receiving this message, it is because you live in a flood zone in Sandy City. The time is now to prepare for potential flooding this spring with the possibility of evacuation if flooding becomes severe. We never know what mother nature is going to bring, so it is better to plan for the worst and hope for the best. Here is a list of thing you can do now:

	Make a Plan In the event of an evacuation, it is important to put a plan together with your family considering the specific needs of your household. Discussing individual responsibilities, such as child care, pets, and medical supplies can help alleviate some of the stress associated with an emergency evacuation. www.ready.gov/plan

	What to Expect An officer may come knock on your door and you will be asked to take your go-bag and vacate your home. Please get in your vehicle and drive to an evacuation area if you can. (For details, check: sandy.utah.utah/floodready). You will be updated on when and if it is safe to return to your home.
