SUMMARY:Mighty Mississippi Exhibit Unveiling

The day this exhibit unveils will coincide with another family-friendly event at the museum meant to bring awareness to this work.

SUMMARY:Flood Prep Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Flood Prep Workshop \nOfficials with the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA)\, Illinois Department of Insurance (IDOI) and Illinois Department of Natural Resources are launching a FloodPrep tour to help prepare communities – both residents and local governments — for the possibility of spring flooding. These events will focus on personal preparedness and the importance of flood insurance. \nWhile the calendar may still say winter\, the time to prepare for spring flooding is now. Most flood insurance policies take 30-days to go into effect. The National Weather Service suggests that abnormally moist ground conditions and unseasonably higher river levels in the upper Midwest could lead to a considerable risk for repeat flooding this spring. With this in mind\, state officials are encouraging Illinois residents to consider flood insurance before the next flood occurs.
