FLOODING
(Group 2)
FLOODING
• Flooding is the overflowing of water on normally dry land. It
has been one of the most costly disasters in terms of damage
to property and loss of life. The most common cause of
death associated with flood is drowning.
• A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is
usually dry. In the sense of “flowing water”, the word may
also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Floods are an area
of study of the discipline hydrology and are of significant
concern in agriculture, civil engineering and public health.
Provide practical ways of coping with the different
hazards caused by the different phenomena.
Before the Flood
• Create a family disaster plan.
Closely monitor weather reports for informationon the possibility of
flooding.

•Identify a safe place for evacuation and alternative routes that are not
prone to flooding.
Identify a safe place for evacuation and alternative
routes that are not prone to flooding.
. If a flash flood warning is issued in your area, evacuate
to a safe place immediately.
If flood alert is issued in your area, move valuables and
furniture to higher levels and disconnect electrical
appliance.
• Prepare and emergency kit and supplies like food and
water.
During flood
• • If you see any signs of flood, turn off the main source of electricity
and go to a higher place such as the second floor or attic.
•
• • Do not wade along flooded areas to keep yourself from having
water-borne diseases.
•
• . In case you need to pass through the flood, wear protective gears
such as boots and raincoats.
Follow any evacuation orders.

• Watch out for live wires or any electrical outlet submerged in water.

. If you are inside a vehicle and water rises around it, leave it
immediately. Climb to higher ground as quickly as possible.

• • If you see someone falls or is trapped in flood water, do not go after


the victim. Throw the victim a floatation device such as tire, large ball,
or ice chest. Then ask help from a trained rescuer.
After the Flood
• Have an electrician inspect your house wiring and electrical outlets before
using them.

Clean up your house. Dispose of things that may be used by mosquitoes to


breed like water vase and anything that can hold stagnant water.

• Boil water before drinking because it may have been contaminated.

• • Do not go or return to flooded areas until the authorities say that it is safe
to do so.
Identify ways to help lessen the
occurrence of the different hazards
in your community..
• Get to know your neighbors.
• Hold community training events to learn basic disaster response skills.
• Raise awareness.
Get to know your neighborhs
Organize neighborhood events and social gatherings, such as block
parties or potluck dinners.

Make a special effort to reach out to neighbors who live alone and may
need help during disasters.

• Identify neighbors who may not have access to a car and I may need
help during an evacuation.
Hold community training events to
learn basic disaster response skills.
Develop an evacuation plan.

Build a “go” kit of supplies to take with you when evacuating.

Shut off utility services.

• Protect homes from flooding.


Raise awareness.
• Make sure new and current community members understand which
areas are more likely to flood. Also help them understand what they
can do about it. You can direct them to Heartland Flood Help.org’s
map search, where they can find out about their home’s level of risk.
They also can use the website to learn more about flood prevention,
preparation, and recovery.
