It’s National Financial Awareness Day! Financial wellness is about more than budgeting and saving. Stay alert for scams and fraud, protect your personal information and make sure your insurance coverage meets your needs.

A Flood Advisory has been issued for Boone County until 1:15 p.m. Never drive through flooded roads. Turn around, don't drown.

Missouri's geography, with its numerous rivers, makes the state particularly susceptible to flooding throughout the year. But homeowner's insurance policies typically do not cover flood damage, requiring residents to purchase separate coverage. abc17news.com/weather/inside…

Did you know that flooding isn't covered under most homeowners insurance policies? It must be purchased separately, and most flood policies require a 30-day waiting period before they go into effect.

🔊 Know the sound & what it means - these sirens are specifically designed to alert people who are outdoors so they can find a safe building & shelter immediately. You may not always hear them if you are indoors... just another reason to have multiple ways of receiving severe weather alerts! #FIFAPrepFriday

‼️ During a tornado, seeking refuge in a vehicle or under an overpass is NOT safe. If you are outside during a tornado warning, the best option is to drive to a designated shelter, basement or safe room.
