OLYMPIA, Wash. – Federal Emergency Management Agency mitigation specialists are on hand this week at Home Depot and Lowe’s in Yakima to provide information about ways to rebuild or remodel that can reduce the risk of damage from wildfire, flooding, flash flooding and other disasters.
The advisors can answer questions about protecting homes from future disaster-related damage and offer tips to build hazard-resistant homes. They can also answer questions about FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program.
Rebuilding or repairing a home after a disaster can be a daunting task – but, with the right information, homeowners can build back safer, smarter and stronger.
Homeowners and contractors can learn more at the following locations in Yakima from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 23 through Sunday, Sept. 28.
- Home Depot, 2115 S. 1st St., Yakima, WA 98903
