Homeowners and businesses alike have been having a terrible time obtaining flood insurance. The insurance companies are aware of what is planned, and do not want to take on the liabilities unless people are willing to pay much higher than normal premiums. I have even seen home made signs offering sand bagging services. My home is too high up on a hill to be in the affected area, but my office is in a direct path of where the flooding will be at it's worst. Looks like I'll be working from home for part of the coming season. I don't know what our neighbors here in the valley will be doing, but I hope everyone gets through this mess okay.

ask the reference librarian in your library to see the library’s disaster plan for some great ideas on how to preserve valuable items and/or documents from destruction!
