There it is--the most important map you'll see for the next fifteen minutes. Just take it all in.

If you live in Kernersville, it may be a wise decision to learn what your risk from flooding is. One way to easily find that out is to go to FEMA’s website and search for yourself! FEMA has a Flood Map Service Center (you can visit it here: https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home), where you can search by address, city, county, or state, and zoom in to see where flooding near you can occur. The organization also has other resources for preventing and managing flooding in your region, which can be found here: https://msc.fema.gov/portal/advanceSearch.

Remember: preparation can save you loads of time and money down the road when disaster strikes--and it will! It’s up to you deciding to take the steps required to prepare for the worst in order to prevent the worst from actually happening.
