When Mother Nature wants to wipe the slate clean, she uses water. Lots of it. To effectively prepare for a flood, you'll need to know your surroundings.
Where does water pool up when it rains?
Where are the streams and rivers located?
How solid is your foundation?
What is the most it has ever rained?
What kind of damage have previous flash floods caused?
Where are your medical and emergency evacuation centers?
Are you close enough for tsunami damage?
Preparing for a flood in the midwest will be different than if you live near a coastal city. Once you answer these questions you can build a flood prep plan that suits you and your family.
