Anyone chooeing to take up this free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or pager telling them of the level of warming, giving them as much time as possible to carry out their flood plan and save iterns that cannot be replaced if lost or daraged, such as photographs or children’s farorite toys. se the earrect statements from the following according to the passage. people lost their lives in the flood in 1953.
