In an emergency, knowing what to do is your best defense. Start now by learning the risks, making an emergency plan and getting involved to help others. Although Pennsylvania is not a hurricane prone state, we do receive heavy rains, tropical winds, flash and general flooding from the storms that come up the east coast. No matter where you live in the state, you should be prepared for a flood emergency.
