FLOOD SMART
- After an INTENSE WILDFIRE, burned vegetation and charred soil form a water-repellent layer blocking water absorption for years.
- During rainfall, water bounces off the soil and even a light rain can potentially turn into a flood or mudflow.
- Properties located below or downstream from burn areas are at an increased risk of flooding.
- Just one inch of floodwater in your home can cause $25,000 of damage.
- Most homeowners and renters insurance policies do not cover flood damage. Wildfires leave the ground unable to absorb water, creating conditions ripe for flooding. Flood Insurance is an easy way to protect your home or business.
