Ottawa County Emergency Management is reminding residents that there is the possibility of spring flooding this year. Officials are planning ahead, and urge residents to also prepare by ensuring that they have taken measures such as clearing roof drains, shoveling snow away from the foundation of their home, and clearing catch basins on their property. Having a family emergency plan and an emergency kit ready is wise for any type of hazard.

You are encouraged to keep checking waterways and drains nearby during the spring season and to stay alert to news media for information as it becomes available.
