In March, don’t let flooding impact your business and garden plans.
Why Should You Care About Flooding?
No matter where you live or work, some risk of flooding exists. (To see your area’s true flood risk, find your community’s flood map here.) In fact, just 1 inch of water can cause $25,000 of damage.
As a result, it’s important that organizations, including public gardens and arboretums, understand the potential impacts.
The Ready Business Program for Inland Flooding and the Preparedness and Mitigation Project Plan allow users to take action to protect employees and customers, as well as help ensure business continuity.
