NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Another severe weather threat is forecasted for Wednesday night into Thursday morning and if you haven't you may want to prepare for potential flooding.
FEMA has some helpful tips to keep your home safe. They say that's very important because flood mitigation can help prevent your homeowner's insurance from going up.
Moving or raising heating and cooling systems, water heaters, electrical panels and other utilities to reduce risk of damage is your best bet. You should also consider using an attic, extra closet, or raised platform to elevate them.
FEMA suggest you have a safety plan ready to go and check the forecast before you go to bed to make sure you're ready for what could come.

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
