Trang 25.Floods are the most common and widespread of all natural disasters Most communities can experience some kind of flooding after pouring rains, heavy thunderstorms or winter snow thaws Floods can be slow or fast rising but generally develop over a period of days Dam failures are potentially the worst flood events When a dam fails,
a gigantic quantity of water is suddenly let loose downstream, destroying anything in its path
Floodwaters can be extremely dangerous The force of six inches of swiftly moving water can knock people off their feet The best protection during a flood is to leave the area and go to shelter on higher ground
Flash floods usually result from intense storms dropping large amounts of rain within a brief period Flash floods occur with little or no warning and can reach full peak in only a few minutes Flash flood waters move at very fast speeds and can roll boulders, tear out trees, destroy buildings, and obliterate bridges Walls of water can reach heights of 10 to 20 feet and generally are accompanied by a deadly cargo of debris The best response to any signs
of flash flooding is to move immediately and quickly to higher ground
