CAUSES OF FLOOD.
EFFECTS OF FLOOD
The affective places remain cut off with the rest of the
country. All the rivers rise rapidly.
Floods can roll boulders, tear out trees, destroy buildings and
bridges, and scour out new channels. Flood waters can reach
heights of 10 to 20 feet and often carry a deadly cargo of
debris.
Basic Prevention:
Rapidly rising water may stall the engine, engulf the vehicle
and its occupants, and sweep them away.
If you are driving and come upon rapidly rising waters, turn
around and find another route. Move to higher ground away
from rivers, streams, creeks, and storm drains. If your route
is blocked by flood waters or barricades, find another route.
If your vehicle becomes surrounded by water or the engine
stalls, and if you can safely get out, abandon your vehicle
immediately and climb to higher ground.
Many deaths have resulted from attempts to move stalled
vehicles. When a vehicle stalls in the water, the water's
momentum is transferred to the car. The lateral force of a
foot of water moving at 10 miles per hour is about 500
pounds on the average automobile.
Help a neighbor who may require special assistance infants, elderly people, and people with disabilities.
Elderly people and people with disabilities may require
additional assistance. People who care for them or who
have large families may need additional assistance in
emergency situations.
Watch for loose plaster, drywall, and ceilings that could fall.
Take pictures of the damage, both of the building and its
contents, for insurance claims.
