The National Weather Service, in cooperation with the Arkansas
Department of Emergency Management, has proclaimed the week of
March 15th through the 19th as Flood Safety Awareness Week

about a different flood related topic.

The National Weather Service works with and relies on strategic
partners involved in river observations, reservoir management,
floodplain management, flood hazard mitigation, flood
preparedness, and safety to reduce the loss of life and property
due to floods. Today we are sharing some great tools from several
