After a Flood

The following are guidelines for the period following a flood:

Listen for news reports to learn whether the community’s water supply is safe to drink.
Avoid floodwaters; water may be contaminated by oil, gasoline, or raw sewage. Water may also be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines.
Avoid moving water.
Be aware of areas where floodwaters have receded. Roads may have weakened and could collapse under the weight of a car.
Stay away from downed power lines, and report them to the power company.
Return home only when authorities indicate it is safe.
Stay out of any building if it is surrounded by floodwaters.
Use extreme caution when entering buildings; there may be hidden damage, particularly in foundations.
Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits, and leaching systems as soon as possible. Damaged sewage systems are serious health hazards.
Clean and disinfect everything that got wet. Mud left from floodwater can contain sewage and chemicals.

In the wake of disasters, people often wonder whether there is a way to protect both people and property from such devastating losses. The answer is a resounding "YES!" Mitigation is the way to provide that protection. Hazard mitigation means taking action to reduce or prevent future damage, preferably before a disaster strikes.

House of Steel
 Survives Charley

PUNTA GORDA, FL When Bob and Robin Leonard built their home on a canal off Pirate Harbor in Charlotte County, they wanted a beautiful, low-maintenance building. They chose a highly engineered, above code steel-panel construction that would endure major storms. While the Hurricane Charley destroyed many homes, the Leonard home fared well.

FEMA: Inundaciones
Compre un radio comercial de batería y baterías adicionales.

 Esté preparado para evacuar el área. Conozca las rutas de evacuación en caso de inundaciones de su comunidad y dónde puede encontrar un terreno alto. Véase el capítulo titulado “Evacuación” para obtener información importante.

 Hable con su familia sobre la inundación. Planee un lugar para encontrarse con su familia en caso de que queden separados unos de los otros en un desastre y no puedan regresar a casa. Elija un contacto fuera de su pueblo al cual todos puedan llamar para decir que están bien. En algunas emergencias, llamar fuera del estado es posible aunque las líneas telefónicas locales estén averiadas.

 Determine cómo cuidará de los miembros de su familia que residan en otro lugar pero puedan necesitar su ayuda en una inundación. Determine las necesidades especiales que sus vecinos puedan tener.

 Prepárese para sobrevivir por sí solo por lo menos tres días. Reúna un equipo de suministros para desastres. Mantenga un suministro de alimentos y agua potable adicional. Véase el capítulo titulado “Planificación de emergencias y suministros para desastres” para obtener más información.

 9. Sepa cómo cerrar la electricidad, el gas y el agua en los interruptores y tomas principales. Sepa dónde están ubicadas las llamas pilotos del gas y cómo funciona el sistema de calefacción.

 Considere comprar seguro de inundación.

Floods also transport major quantities of sediment, and including materials such as organic and inorganic carbon that are important in understanding the global carbon cycle.  Many other practical applications are there to be developed:  transport of heavy metal pollutants, absorbed onto sedimentary particles, for example: where do these transported and deposited pollutants cause human health issues? Measuring the fluxes and pathways of flood water is indeed best performed from orbital sensors.
What are some long term global effects of flooding?
BB: There are major humanitarian and economic issues every year from flooding, worldwide. Pakistan is still recovering from the catastrophic flood along the Indus River (2010), the NE USA has, of this writing, been severely affected by tropical storm Irene flooding (especially the New England states); this past winter much of E. Australia was experiencing unprecedented flooding over vast areas, which we could monitor and map each day via Terra MODIS.
Flooding occurs on every continent, but most fatal floods occur in Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, Central American and the Caribbean according to one of the papers you co-authored.  Is there a reason why flooding occurs more frequently in developing nations?
BB: Flooding causes enormous damage in the more-developed nations, and it can be lethal; but it is in nations such as Pakistan, India, China, Bangladesh, Mexico, the Philippines, sub-Saharan African, and the nations of Indochina where fatalities are most abundant.  In part, this is due to lack of warning systems (orbital sensors have a role to play in improving this); there may also be lack of basic information as to what lands are being flooded (here the Flood Observatory’s near-real time flood mapping efforts are important); fatalities are also due to high population densities and inadequate control structures and drainage (in both the cities and the rural areas). In some cases, development assistance has exacerbated the damage, by providing a false sense of protection and fostering more development behind supposedly protective levees.
Why is it important to study floods?
BB: Floods are an integral part of floodplain ecosystems, and much of the global human population resides on floodplains. We live close to rivers, and we misunderstand their processes at our peril!

FAQs • San Bruno, CA • CivicEngage
For example, NOAA's maps do not incorporate wave effects while FIRMs do.Thus, there is no direct or consistent comparison between Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) shown on FIRMs and surge inundation areas shown on Hurricane Inundation/Evacuation Maps; or between Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) and water elevations produced by NOAA's SLOSH (Sea Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) model. For example, the area flooded by the base flood at one location may be roughly equivalent to Category 2 hurricane inundation, but at another nearby area, it may be closer to a Category 1 inundation or a Category 3 inundation.

Why isn’t our beach nourishment and/or dune construction project included in the coastal map study analysis and resulting mapping?

Beaches are dynamic in nature as they are likely to continue to erode over time due to winds and waves, which reduces the effects of nourishment projects on flood hazards landward of the beach. Therefore, without regular maintenance, a raised or widened beach is only temporary. When coastal flood hazard mapping studies are performed, FEMA takes beach nourishment projects into consideration only when the project is significant (i.e., has the dimensions necessary to affect 1-%-annual-chance flood hazards) and will be maintained for many years. Dunes are also dynamic as they are subject to erosion, overwash, and could be washed away during major storms. Many nourishment projects incorporate a dune - either new or rebuilt - at the landward edge of the beach, although in some cases dunes are enlarged or constructed separately.Not all nourishment projects will affect the 1-%-annual-chance flood hazard - either because the project is small, the dune lacks vegetation, the community cannot demonstrate a commitment to future maintenance, or other reasons. FEMA's experience evaluating these projects shows:Many nourishment projects have beach elevations that are too low to alter upland wave hazards;One-time projects without assurance of future maintenance will only have a temporary effect on flood hazards; andNewly constructed dunes lack long-standing vegetation, making them more susceptible to erosion.
