Flash flood warning in Huntington Beach CA, Westminster CA and surrounding areas.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning last night.  Although it was a light to moderate rainfall with mild thunderstorms, it is recommended homeowners and local businesses should know about the heavy rain and risks by staying informed on weather alerts and local authorities.  

Here are some basic tips for staying informed:

• Monitor weather conditions and water levels via National Weather Services, State, and local authorities.
• Create a plan for both homes and business, including your pets.  We do NOT leave family members behind. 
• Assemble an emergency kit with essential supplies, including important personal documents.
• Protect your property by installing a working sump pump, potentially with a battery backup, consider professional installation of check valves in plumbing to prevent backflow and most importantly check your insurance coverage.  Best to contact your insurance agent or insurance company to better understand your flood insurance coverage.
• Find professional plumbers, roofers, and contractors via HDPARKINGLOT.COM.
