Know Your Risk: If you live in or own property within Kill Devil Hills, you’re potentially at risk of being impacted by storm surge and flooding. Visit our website, www.kdhnc.com/1070/Flood-Information, to check your flood zone, view flood maps and find additional information about how you can reduce the risk of flood damages. Insure Your Home and Document Possessions: Whether you rent or own your home, it’s imperative to ensure your property and belongings are adequately insured against wind, hail and flood damage—even if you aren’t located within a flood zone. Remember that it typically takes 30 days for wind and flood damage policies to take effect. For more information on flood insurance, visit www.FloodSmart.gov. Take the time to document your possessions: photos, serial numbers, or anything else that you may need to provide your insurance company when filing a claim. Create an Emergency Plan: Develop a personal plan with family members and other housemates that includes the evacuation route you will take, what vehicle(s) you will use, where you will meet and where you will stay. Ensure everyone in your household knows what to do in case of an emergency. Be sure to account for your pets. Click here to access a template to create your plan.
