C. Flood & Flashflood - a high-water stage in which water overflows its natural or
artificial banks onto normally dry land, such as a river inundating its floodplain. The
effects of floods on human well-being range from unqualified blessings to
catastrophes.

Here are the main types of floods to look out for:

1. Inland flooding is the technical name for ordinary flooding that occurs in inland
areas, hundreds of miles from the coast.

2. Flash floods are caused by heavy rain or the sudden release of water over a
short period of time. The name "flash" refers to their fast occurrence and also to
their raging torrents of water that move with great speed. Flash floods are also
caused by heavy precipitation in a short period of time, usually less than 6 hours.

3. River flooding occurs when water levels in rivers, lakes, and streams rise and
overflow onto the surrounding banks, shores, and neighboring land.

4. Coastal flooding is the inundation of land areas along the coast by seawater.

5. Urban flooding occurs when there is a lack of drainage in an urban (city) area.

D. Storm surge (Daluyong ng Bagyo in the Philippine system) – it’s where the
irregular sea-level rise during tropical cyclone or "bagyo" occurs. When the tropical
cyclone reaches the coast, powerful winds force the ocean water over the coastal
low-lying areas, which can lead to flooding.

PAGASA takes many technological considerations into account when forecasting

the negative impacts of a storm surge. For storm surge prone communities, the
most important considerations are the strength of the tropical cyclone; the height of
the surge, and the community located in the low-lying area.

The shown infographic on the other side discusses the storm surge warning
