About

This webpage describes a massive storm called ARkStorm that could hit California, similar to the Great Flood of 1862. The storm would bring heavy rain and cause widespread flooding, landslides, and damage worth billions. Many people might not have insurance to cover their losses. It stresses the importance of being prepared with better flood controls and emergency plans to prevent disaster. Working together can help save lives and reduce damage when such storms occur in the future. For more information on how to prepare for ARkStorms, visit www.arkstorm.com.
