No one can truly predict a natural disaster. Nothing holds truer to this then the last springs flooding of the Souis River Valley from&amp;nbsp;Canada&amp;nbsp;to the American mid-west the true power of water showed it&#39;s might and reared the ugly face of&amp;nbsp;destruction&amp;nbsp;on farmlands,&amp;nbsp;freight lines, communities and&amp;nbsp;families. The aftermath left many thinking was enough done to protect and prevent when truly&amp;nbsp;blame&amp;nbsp;can&#39;t be&amp;nbsp;administered&amp;nbsp;to the men and women that worked&amp;nbsp;tirelessly&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;minimize&amp;nbsp;the effects of the 2011 flood season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hind site is always 20/20, and in 2012 I urge everyone to&amp;nbsp;sharpen&amp;nbsp;their for sight this year. Many flood plains are still&amp;nbsp;saturated&amp;nbsp;and now freezing for the winter. This means Spring frost has no soil to&amp;nbsp;soak&amp;nbsp;up that extra snow melt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one wants the job with the pressures of total success or a total wash out (literally), but we should not only depend our&amp;nbsp;government&amp;nbsp;to take care of you. Remember they are people as well. People that are trying to help other people, but as we all know resources&amp;nbsp;and funding are wearing thin in our economy. This year let us come together and fight flood waters on every level. Remember, an once of prevention saves a pound of damage, and being prepared for the fight is half the battle. looking at our own mitigation processes and&amp;nbsp;continually&amp;nbsp;improving our methods will yield the best results. Together we can save lives, land, jobs and money in 2012.</description><link>http://bigbagsusa.blogspot.com/2012/01/2012-is-here.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (BigBagsUSA)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922928601590836500.post-7915232851458058037</guid><pubDate>Thu, 15 Dec 2011 18:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-12-15T10:11:58.296-08:00</atom:updated><title>Flood Prevention- a must have strategy!</title><description>Flooding happens to be the most costly of all natural disasters. There has been record flooding in many locations over the past few years, which has cost those communities and insurance companies millions of dollars. It seems a logical solution would be to have those affected areas protected with the proper flood fighting tools before the next event happens. Let me hear your plans for fighting the next flood event, and if you think your community is pro-active.</description><link>http://bigbagsusa.blogspot.com/2011/12/flood-prevention-must-have-strategy.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (BigBagsUSA)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922928601590836500.post-7075067000122818851</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-12-09T11:37:56.024-08:00</atom:updated><title>Big Bags USA wishes you the very best for this holiday season.</title><description>Happy Holidays everyone!
