Unfortunately it happens all to often with major flooding occurring around the World all the time. It is very difficult to prevent or stop flood waters from damaging property or drowning people. However, rescuers do have some techniques they can use to help protect properties and rescue stranded people or stock.
Storm damage can be very costly.
Around the World, rescuers respond to damaged houses and buildings providing temporary repairs or making the site safe. Storm and flood damage costs the insurance companies of the World millions each year. This site is for all those people who are interested in technical rescue activities that need help with planning and conducting training. Training Officers, rescuers and the general public should find this site helpful and useful for preparing and planning rescue training within their organisation or community. This site can only survive if I receive new material and interesting articles.
