Hurricanes and Tropical Storms
When a storm strikes, we prepare guidance on environmental issues in the affected areas. Use this guidance to ensure safe drinking water and to comply with environmental regulations if your county is affected.
Drought
Droughts call for well-considered decisions about using water. Learn more about surface and groundwater regulations and emergency procedures.
Floods
- If a flood is imminent, be sure your public drinking water system is ready.
- After a flood, determine if your water is safe to drink.
