The spring of 2023 saw historic flooding hit parts of Wisconsin, which forced roads to close and put communities in danger. As spring weather returns to the state, ReadyWisconsin asks everyone to plan for the possibility floodwaters will rise again.
“During Flood Safety Awareness Week, we encourage everyone to take time to assess their flood risk and learn how to protect themselves before, during, and after a flood.”
– Wisconsin Emergency Management Administrator Greg Engle
To encourage everyone in the state to be prepared, Gov. Tony Evers has declared Feb. 25 through Mar. 2 as Flood Safety Awareness Week in Wisconsin.
“Flooding remains the most common natural disaster in Wisconsin, putting lives at risk and causing costly damage for property owners and local governments,” said Wisconsin Emergency Management Administrator Greg Engle. “During Flood Safety Awareness Week, we encourage everyone to take time to assess their flood risk and learn how to protect themselves before, during, and after a flood.”
