Many communities suffer tremendous property damage, or much worse, loss of life due to flooding issues each year.<\/p>\n<p>INPREPared has assembled resources that Extension Educators, media, and others can use to quickly prepare news releases, PSA&#8217;s, and other outreach when flooding is likely or has already occurred.<\/p>\n<p>Among these resources are several PREPnotes that relate directly to flood-related issues.\u00a0 PREPnotes download in MS Word format, so that educators or others can quickly adapt them for customized news releases, or the contents can be shared on social
