Certain aspects of the home can be replaced or modified to become more water resistant. If you are looking for a home that happens to be in a flood zone, it’s best to look for a home that is on stilts or slightly raised. If this isn’t an option, you may:
Raise electrical outlets, switches and other electric systems
Install vents or a sump pump for the home’s foundation
Apply coats and seals onto the doors and windows
Keep valuables above ground level
