{ABC News Live} Flooding Can Happen Anywhere: The Potentially Life-Saving Item You Should Have

I recently joined ABC News Live Prime and Stephanie Ramos to share important flood preparedness tips following the devastating flooding in Texas. My heart goes out to everyone impacted by this disaster.

Meteorologist Cheryl Nelson discusses flood preparedness on ABC News Live

As a FEMA-certified preparedness expert and meteorologist, I discussed:

 - Understanding your flood risk — both at home and while traveling

 - What to pack in your emergency kits — including essentials for your vehicle

 - How to stay safe if caught on the road during flooding

 - The importance of receiving emergency alerts through multiple reliable sources, including a NOAA Weather Radio

Preparation won’t prevent flooding, but it can make a critical difference in protecting lives and helping families recover.
