Floods

Different types of floods can occur in Wyoming Year-round

Floods are the most common and widespread of all natural disasters other than fire. Many areas of Wyoming are susceptible to flooding after heavy rains or thunderstorms. Floods can be slow, or fast rising depending on their intensity and can cause substantial loss of life and property damage. After a flood, cleanup and sanitizing is an important step toward restoring homes, businesses and farms.
