Flooding Hazards Class

Will County EMA has coordinated with the NDPTC on hosting their "Flooding Hazards: Science and preparedness" class. This class addresses the current science of the causes of flods (both meteorological and otherwise), flood forecasting, flood risk assessment, and best practices for preparation and mitigation for both short- and long-fuse flooding events. Key concepts and discussion topics will be reinforced with facilitator-led group activities that utilize real-world flood scenarios. These activities will illustrate the diverse challenges and complexities that can occur during actual flood events while building participants' experience and confidence in anticipating, heeding warnings, and responding to floods.
