Floods are one of the most common weather-related disasters in Indiana and throughout the U.S.\u00a0 Many communities suffer tremendous property damage, or much worse, loss of life due to flooding issues each year.<\/p>\n

INPREPared has assembled resources that Extension Educators, media, and others can use to quickly prepare news releases, PSA’s, and other outreach when flooding is likely or has already occurred.<\/p>\n

New Resources: Preventing Scams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sadly, disasters tend to attract those who take advantage of others’ misfortune. These resources discuss avoiding becoming the victim of scammers, unscrupulous contractors, disreputable charities, or government agency impersonators.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Cover\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

NEW RESOURCES:\u00a0 Volunteer Safety & Management<\/strong><\/p>\n

A big challenge for emergency managers is ensuring the safety of volunteers assisting with cleanup in the aftermath of a storm event. Unfortunately, more people can be hurt in the aftermath of a flood than during the actual event. These resources can be used by Extension Educators and community organizations to organize and train youth or adult volunteers, increasing the safety and effectiveness of their efforts.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Image\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t
