Abstract | According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) research on historical flood risk, 98 percent of U.S. counties have been impacted by a flooding event. Not only do flood events occur in and impact all regions of the United States, but they are also costly. Therefore, it is in the interest of communities for education agencies--public and nonpublic K-12 schools and school districts--to prepare for floods and participate in mitigation, protection, prevention, response, and recovery efforts. This publication begins with an introduction to the National Weather Service (NWS) flood-related information statements from Flood Advisory to Flash Flood Warning and Flood Warning. The report then discusses the six-step planning process established in the 2013 "Guide for Developing High-Quality School Emergency Operations Plans (School Guide)" (see ED571878). Lastly, activities that may be utilized by nonpublic and public K-12 schools, as well as school districts, where noted, before, during, and after flood events are described. A list of key resources is also provided. (ERIC). |
