As you know flood its part of world unfavourable environment. its has bundle of other reaction not in specefic area but around ecosystem. is flood fetching changing in economics? if yes but how!!!!!

Isn't it obvious though? There's a negative economic effect due to local businesses not being able to operate properly, and probably employees not being able to work (obviously due to the floods). A flood in itself wouldn't cause an economic crisis unless it's a greatly prolonged flood though(probably months?).

Of course. Just see what happens to a wheatfield when it's flooded.

While there are floods in some countries, there is also drought everywhere. Both can bring same difficulties to the lives of the people, this is very interesting events actually as they also occur while we are all experiencing wars, geopolitical crisis and economic shift. If you wear your tinfoil hat to connect them all, do you think someone out there controls the weather?

Yes.

There is a big factor that flood do affect the economy. Imagine those transport of goods that should be on the right time for delivery and the same goes for the travel and commute of office workers and other things that needs to be transported.

The delay of their transport is also causing a delay of the money that flows in the economy of a country. That's why huge flood control projects must be implemented and the climate change also has something to do with this. But mainly, one cause of flood is due to the trash and garbage congesting the flood ways.

depending on the intensity of the flood,, if it is on a large scale of course it will create an economic crisis because it will hamper people's activities and make many shops close and even destroy many important facilities ... but if it is small, flooding does not seem to cause an economic crisis

Flood is a disaster caused by human activities in the vicinity and it is clearly detrimental to the environment and the economy of the community because every community cannot carry out their activities as usual before the flood begins to recede or disappear. If you have ever experienced flooding in your area, then you must have seen how transportation has stopped and traditional traders have been prevented from selling their goods to the market. It is a disaster that is clearly not desired by everyone including the rich around you. Because no one wants to live in a flooded place and also in a dirty and unhealthy environment.

Definitely flooding is causing a big trauma on the progress of business operations which directly affect the economy system of the affected region, but here i will like to blame the government for their lack of adequate planning against flood disaster and management strategies, although we still have alot to blame on the people as well contributing to this from their human activities but nevertheless government has the power to enforce change and exercise authority on specific areas that needed crucial attention with a warning signs of flood disaster, but due to abuse on freedom by the people and lack of proper administration of concerned strategies by the government in tackling flood, the said incident occur and cause alot of damage to the society.

The damages in properties is the obvious one, in terms of economics, it can disrupt productions in factories affected, destroy crops thus shortage in supply for food or raw materials and loss of lives which means a damage in manpower and causes loss in productivity.

That's quite obvious! A third of Pakistan is underwater. Many other countries are also on the risk of getting flooded due to global warming. The more flooding will occur, more and more crops will get destroyed which will result in significant reduction in production. All are linked to be honest!

Smaller countries will have to spend significantly more to secure food grains going forward. Also with Ukraine (largest producer of wheat) unable to produce required amount of wheat, the supply will eventually suffer big time!

The global weather is being affected and changing globally because of all our activities.

The worst scenario for people relying on farming is drought followed by heavy rains. The
ground is baked hard and when the rains come there is minimal soakage so the water runs
off the land to lower areas causing floods.

How farming use the land does not help the cause and the effects of the floods hits the local
economy massively from loss of crops, loss of employment and the cost of rescue
and rebuilding.

Maybe that's it, but only has an effect in certain cities for a few short days (especially lowlands) and that usually can be quickly addressed by the local government. Instead, I have never heard that floods have sank the agricultural sector all over the country so as to paralyze their economy.

Not to mention the damages or losses caused by flood itself especially to those places wherein some cases are really devastating. Given that there are obvious negative effects, it is not a hidden idea that it is not solely flood which is affecting a country's economy. It could also be how leaders of those countries manages or handles such situation. So If I would be asked, governance is the bottomline and is the biggest factor that would reflect to one economy, no matter what natural/man-made disaster comes.

Floods can cause losses to an affected area. floods that occur will damage anything that is encountered, especially rice fields, or agriculture that are entering the harvest period. Floods in areas in rice fields will certainly cause crop failure, floods can damage infrastructure. Floods will hamper the traffic of an area, especially in the distribution of food or logistics, causing the supply to be disrupted.
In this condition, when demand is greater than supply, it can cause an increase in the price of various commodities. or an increase in the inflation rate this will have an impact on increasing the prices of various commodities so that they contribute to the inflation rate.
but the flood itself will not cause a country's economic crisis.
In some areas of my country, flooding is common and usually occurs almost every year during the rainy season.

One of the things that can lead to low agricultural produce is flood because a community that is prone to very bad flooding will not be able to grow crops and not to even harvest anything that year therefore that will lead to low turnout of agricultural products. This flood caused some food shortage is some community especially riverine areas because they are surrounded by water and any little rainfall will distabilize the agricultural ecosystem. We can't discuss flood without knowing one factor that has led to increased flooding experience globally and this is environmental changes.

Flood is one of the bad experience in human life and not only in human but also living and non living things. Because that is a natural disaster. There are some floods that are caused by human beings by blocking the drainages or from the federal government by opening the dam and one thing I discovered from flooding in Africa, Companies benefit from the disaster, mostly, matrass (Foams) Food etc. Government also make money from flood because in the flooding period any amount of money that is spent in the flood period it does not count for because it is a disaster period. So government Ministers of disaster always used this opportunity to embezzled the money that is budgeted to help the victims of the disaster. Human beings are displaced by flood disaster. Schools are closed Farmers and Fishermen are suspended.

All things that are too much is considered to be bad. Farmers or their plants rather will need a sufficient amount of sunlight and water (rains) so that they can grow their crops healthy but because of what some people are doing (bad things which affect the environment) this breaks the balance of the weather.

Sometimes we feel too hot and sometimes too cold or too much rains, which is not good for those who have a farming business. When people starts littering around, that is also the number one cause of floods. Floods are very damaging not only to the farmers or their crops but also the people who are going to be affected with it.
 

Obviously, now Pakistan has been betrayed by rain. It has been called the worst monsoon in more than 3 decades. The government was caught off guard as it was equipped. The economic crisis has rained its coffers. Islamabad lacks the resources to deal with a tragedy like this. They are asking people to donate money. Pakistan needs all the help it can get at the moment. Every time, unexpectedly, when the global climate hits, a country will face an economic crisis. Developed and developing countries are affected differently.

in times of crisis like this, you will see that there's still humanity left within us. it is no surprise however, to experience this type of environmental disaster because of the climate change that we are experiencing. so in our own small way, we can contribute in lessening envi pollution. it is not too late to act now. we should not wait for government initiatives but we can already start our routine change in our home. always remember the concept of zero waste, and i believe that's more than enough to contribute in taking care of our environment.

The world is facing the worse, in one part of the world it is flood and the next region it is drought. For now Asian countries are getting affected by floods and Western countries are affected by drought. Surely the floods and drought have its role in the economic crises. The impact can be experienced much high on countries that are already into bad economic situation. For now Pakistan looks so bad, and the floods are affecting it go even worse.

Does natural disasters (not just floods) change the economy in the long term? If we are talking about the production facilities, no.
Natural disasters will change the infrastructure and the house building industry. Future buildings and houses will have to be rock solid and they will be built in order to be resistant against all sorts of natural disasters- floods, earthquakes, fire, etc. The increased safety will come at a greater cost. The insurance industry will also have to pay more for the damages caused by various natural disasters.
The economy would be shifting towards less fossil fuel consumption and more renewable energy, but I don't believe that this would change the process of global warming in the short term, which means more floods and hurricanes in the future.

High unemployment and slow growth have become the new normal in the developed countries of the world. The debt crisis in Europe and the slowdown in emerging markets such as India, China, Brazil, and others just added to the losses. It's a classic example of why economics is called the "gloomy science," and why most people have a lower opinion of economists than lawyers or used car salespeople.

I witnessed the devastating effects of some floods in some islands in East Asia and some areas in Africa, the effects were devastating as people did not lose their lives according to their source of livelihood and governments did not strive to compensate the affected, which led to the displacement of the population to safe areas and work in marginal jobs away from agriculture, grazing and rural activities.

We know that it cant just be possible for a flood not to subside which means that it would be temporal even if we do say about continous rain but we know that it wont really be pouring out intense for a whole week or even several days which it would really be hard to presume out that these things could happen.It would be just normal that on flood times people cant just go to work or lots of businesses would be closing on that
time but considering on the duration of the said flood then it would really be just temporal and once it do goes down then living would be coming back to normal.
Just common sense that if ever there's no revenue circling around then it would affect the economy.

As regards farming, what is contributing to the problems is the fact that over 30% of arable
land is being used to grow crops for animals which in turn produce a lot of methane/carbon dioxide.
Forestry in some parts of the world is being cleared in order to grow more crops to feed even
more animals. The whole system is messing with the environment and weather systems and
unfortiunately it seems to be the poorest people who are suffering the most. Its also funny
that while some countries may be benefiting economically from the over production of animals
it is creating economic crises for others.

Yes, of course. Look what is happening now in Pakistan. There are major floods in the country. This is causing disruption to the economy in the country, because first of all, the flooding of agricultural lands and the destruction of crops. Also, the disruption of transportation in the country due to the disruption of traffic as a result of water flooding all the streets, chaos and fear prevail People are trying to save themselves and their precious possessions, all this is causing economic paralysis of the flooded country.

Flooding is a major challenge for most countries during the raining times. The activities of humans also contribute to this problem, like the people blocking drainage system with all sorts of used things that they don't care to properly dispose of and during the rain then the drainage are blocked and water has no choice than to find escaping route the effect is flooding in the neighborhood.

In my opinion, floods can make the economy go down because many people have left their companies, for example factories will not be able to operate if the flood lasts for a long time and also many traders cannot trade because of the flood. and there are also residents whose houses collapsed due to flooding, so it is clear that flooding will make the economy collapse, especially if the floods are large for a long time.

Agreed, when the regular rainfall is experienced to be high above the average we'll experience floods. This is quite common, but what makes it worse is the poor planning of infrastructure. In most cases buildings constructed on the waterways deviate the water movement from its regular path towards a new path. In my country this is experienced much and now government have allocated new houses and destroying buildings on the waterways.

I'm curious to how do you connect flood to unable to trade though since trading just need an internet and you are good to go unlike those who has businesses outside that are probably affected by the flood since they can't move freely or the customers are have a hard time to go to the market/malls which means less people, less profit or worst case scenario farmers won't be able to harvest their crops due to flood and probably getting destroyed by the rain in the process. Flood has many effect on the ecosystem thus sometimes connected to the economy.

Rather than looking for a solution every year, the countries should focus on developing a permanent solution making necessary infrastructure changes. In India, the IT hub is experiencing the worst of floods in history. Till date the country have experienced floods disturbing the life of people in different states. This is the first time flood have hit Bangalore which serves as the IT hub. This rainy season haven't left any of the countries.

you have called out Flood in which mostly a Natural disaster (though many are being caused of abused in nature thats why there are great flood happening) but you did not mentioned about the Wild Fire that causes almost the same specially when happened in valuable places.
in my country alone there are flood happening here and there but nowadays? peoplea re coping up and starting to live with floods lol.

Depending on how severe the flood is. It can affect the local business, the transportation, destroy crops (resulting to food shortage) and the infrastructure. This can affect the economy because it can stop the production of foods, unable the employees to work on their companies and temporary closure of business. If the flood is severe it might take time for the area to recover.

Yes sometimes the cause is because of abuse. Before, many places here are full of trees, but now it was develop and replaced with buildings.

The economic crisis occurs in almost all countries, I did not think that economic conditions decreased after more than 10 years of positive growing, Covid and Pandemi that occurred for more than a year certainly made many changes and crises but the main factor that occurred was inflation that was uncontrolled so as to make Many people can't buy.

The climatic conditions around the globe keeps changing. The reason behind the climate change can be connected to different things. This change in climate is being experienced causing heavy drought in some parts of Europe a rain on the opposite region. Pakistan have got affected heavily. More countries are on the list, but it is limited to specific region and that keeps them hidden from the world.

For now most of the South Asian countries are suffering. The pandemic suffering slowly got decreased and by the time floods have begun to affect the life of people. This is surely down the economic situation of the citizens which combine to affect the nations economy.

One key reason for the change in cllimate is man made damages on the environment due to air pollution. Drought some times could be as a result of accumulation of Co2 in the atmosphere due to high consumption of fossil fuels resulting to gas trap in high intensity

The advace effect of growing technology without a check on its effect on the environment. Flood is more of a threat that even pandemics because flood can cause a complete displacement of citizens

If the flood happens several times and continuously with moreover high volume, this may give a certain influence on the economics in the area. However, most people cannot do their activities properly and very well because of the flood. A flood is a disaster and many people commonly lost their property and property due to this flood. But in my opinion, if this does not happen continuously with a flood volume that is not too high, then it will not be a big problem. Especially if you are used to it, maybe it will not be optimal.

At some point people will get used to it. During this period we won't be able to do things as planned and make preparations earlier. When the normal life changes automatically the earning gets disturbed. Just the pandemic days are the example. People affected from normal life and the economy got busted. It is the government's that needs to have the infrastructure developed to keep things in control even when there is unexpected floods, though human innovation can't stand against the nature.

Governments need to have active plans. If we're with prior planning we can able to withstand to some level. By the time things might come into control. Floods are happening all around, but the people are much affected on specific regions and countries. Actively developing the requirements to identify flood and taking measures will lower the effect. Now it looks like Japan have got the best infrastructure to stand against flood.

All disasters directly and indirectly will greatly affect the economic sector. one of them is flood.
Prolonged flooding can paralyze the economy of the flood-affected area itself. the economy will slowly collapse. even food stocks will run low. and eventually the flood-affected people will need outside help.

Floods can also occur in rural areas. such as in wheat fields and other agricultural lands such as vegetables and rice. Many farmers fail to harvest. and this will result in the scarcity of agricultural production. And that's where the price increase will start. as a result of soaring demand but drastically decreasing production yields due to flood-affected areas will experience crop failure.

The direct impact will be felt by farmers because they experience losses.
And the indirect impact will be felt by all people. due to crop failure, farmers will reduce the supply of food in the market. which will result in scarcity and price spikes will continue to be felt.

even if the flood turns out to continue. then there will be a plague that spreads. whether it's skin disease and the like. from here there will be a lot of miserable people. especially those directly affected by flooding. and government assistance is needed.

so the government will use government emergency funds to help flood victims. sometimes funds for state development will be diverted temporarily and channeled to aid flood victims.

so basically all kinds of natural disasters, will always have an impact in all sectors of life and the economy one of them.

Floods are not good for the environment, are hazardous to life, ruin property, leave many people homeless worldwide, and have become an issue for the government that is difficult to solve. Most of this is a result of our actions; climate change, flooding, the loss of cultivated plants, and a reduction in the availability of food all have a significant impact on the economy.

Actually, in this case, it goes back to human consciousness itself, when we are still greedy in cutting down trees and doing some actions that should not be done such as not keeping the garbage clean, then this is definitely going to be a problem like this because we know that no matter how hard the government wants it to be. minimize flooding but when there is no awareness from the citizens in the government, this is still something difficult because it just seems like it can't be done.

But on the other hand there are also other factors that make floods exist because indeed if we look at the country of Japan, for example, which in the last few years experienced floods that were quite terrible and claimed lives, it was clear that there were other factors apart from the damage done by humans. such as the high rainfall that occurs and their geographical location which is indeed complicated because most of the area is mountains and hills so that sometimes we find housing on the slopes of the mountain.

I also feel concerned to see the condition of our brothers and sisters in Pakistan. The flood there is a very severe flood. The economy there came to a halt in the flood-affected areas. even of course there must be many who lose valuable things. even reports of fatalities continue to grow there. On September 3, 2022 alone, the death toll has reached more than 1265 people. and it is estimated that there are now much more.
even I read in the news that Nearly 45 percent of the agricultural land in Pakistan has been damaged by floods. And this condition will certainly greatly affect food security. and this is really a serious threat to the conditions there because it will further increase the inflation rate which is already very high there. I think there the food crisis is really something that deserves attention. and need a lot of help from other countries. I hope that the flood disaster there will end quickly and hopefully the people will be saved by Allah SWT. and hopefully the country can recover. so that people no longer suffer.

whether flooding caused by human activity or caused by nature, of course this can hamper human activities to carry out daily life, and of course because they cannot work then if it occurs for a long time it will disrupt the economy in the area, not to mention the impact on the economy. public health and spread to other fields. Therefore, humans must be friendly with the environment so that there is a harmonious reciprocity between nature and humans

Of course we can't prevent natural causes and it's better that we all need to be responsible for protecting the surrounding environment,
it's important to start at the closest scope and such things still many people ignore it,
this must be done together

It looks like flooding will always be part of our suffering every year especially now that climate change remains the problem and the rising level of water. In my country, flooding is everywhere especially in highly urbanized area where there’s no flood control at all, this can affect the economic status since many businesses will be affected. Flooding control is the key and of course taking care of our nature can prevent such calamities, we should start doing this now or else more flooding will occur in the future.

A flood is a natural disaster, of which its outbreak is never always favourable, causing loss of lives, damage to property, and economic drawbacks due to unplanned funds that will be spent on repairs and providing food, and basic amenities to victims of the such flood, which is always the duty of the government. So thats how flood affect the economic of a country as it leads to unplanned spending of money which may have been budgeted for a different project

Due to frontal rains, flooding events are common in south asia. It affects the economy regionally, yes, but not enough to affect the world economy. If these floods were seen in countries such as Europe or America, we would feel much more.

I know that some economists who have studied disasters may not be just flooding, but other earthly effects that destroy parts of the planet have an impact on the economy that you might not have thought about.

If you think about it, governments always have emergency funds whenever that occurs, so when that time comes, they probably overestimate the losses. The difference between the actual would probably go to their pockets. This is for the corrupted government, so that would depend on where you are, but I think that's one way that you could say that it affects the economy since we are talking about lots of money when the nation is involved.

I think floods are less expensive than other natural disasters like hurricanes or earthquakes. Depends on intensity as well, probably.

yes... the flood will only affect the economy of the flood-affected area itself. except if those affected by flooding are food producers who export a lot of food goods abroad. then for this reason several countries will also be affected due to producers stopping sending goods to their countries. so that countries that are accustomed to receiving imported food will be dragged into a food crisis and the food crisis is included in the category of economic crisis.

When the Flood comes there will be several impacts that will appear, but here is more precisely discussing the impact of losses on the economy, it can be seen clearly that when the flood comes for someone who has a field and a place for them to do business, of course this flood will destroy everything that is in the area. In the field, it can be concluded that this flood has a very negative impact on the economy.

With a note that this does not apply to every flood, a terrible flood is certainly very detrimental, and do not equate it with a Flood that is not Terrible.

Only this year we saw record high temperatures in many parts of the world - the thing about climate change is it is going to generate many more extremes. Not just heating up the planet, but also in a few places it will bring extreme cold, along with much more intense storms which may include even faster wind speeds or golf ball size hail. Floods is part of it too, because not only will these extreme storms spread water via rain, which can overflow rivers and dams, but it will combine with rising seas that occur due to the melting icecaps releasing huge amounts of frozen water. It also has a tendency to get worse, faster, because things like the permafrost melting will release a lot of CO2 which traps even more heat inside the atmosphere.

The basic idea is that you would have to end up with a situation where you are spending money on something you did not calculated into your finances. Nations and governments have their own finances and that means we are going to end up with a bit of a trouble if we don't have the money for it.

Floods or earthquakes or most other things are hard to calculate, usually can't be calculated so they come out of nowhere and even if there is a fund left for emergencies, you do not know how much it will cost, not the life cost calculated as well because people die on these stuff as well. Hence, it is really impacting the economy a lot worse than people expect, because it is such an unexpected thing.

Floods are very localized, which means that one area can be severely affected while an area just a few miles away is fine, the natural disasters that have the most destructive potential are solar flares and volcanic eruptions, solar flares can affect and destroy our technology and if we ever received a huge one we could be sent to the eighteenth century in a matter of days, volcanic eruptions can be incredibly damaging as well with all the material they release to the air as it can block some of the sunlight and reduce the temperature of the whole world by several degrees and affect our food supply for years or even decades.

Whether or not the body is still going to go through that and with everything costing money, it doesn't matter, the economy is going to be affected because to recover, you need to spend some money.

What do you mean you do not know how much it will cost? I think you have a chance to calculate it after everything that has happened. There's going to be a finite amount. And of course, those affected would have a harder time in life then wouldn't be solved with money. So it's even more complicated.

---

That's going to be a different world if that happens. Communication would be slower and the part where people could easily go anywhere would have experienced problems. Those who have worked up not being able to depend too much on technology can probably have survived that. For the temperature of the world, increasing more and more would be brutal. Even the smallest amount would lead to a more disaster zone, IMO.

I'm not saying that flooding is not a bad thing, but handling it is not as difficult as when dealing with a volcanic eruption. The impact of flooding is
only limited to certain areas and rescue of flood victims can be carried out as soon as possible. Moreover, the recovery from the flood disaster is
also much faster and usually the death toll is not too many. In contrast to volcanic eruptions, the atmosphere is very tense with polluted air and
if there are residential residents it is more difficult to rescue them. The death toll is also quite high, so dealing with volcanic eruptions is indeed
much more difficult. The effect can be very large, the smoke from the volcanic eruption can spread even to very far areas.

Actually, any disaster that occurs is a disaster for human life, and should be used as a lesson for humans to take care of the environment better.
Most of the natural disasters that occur in this world, because of man himself. So hopefully the natural disasters that occur will be a warning to
all of us, so as not to damage our environment. Taking care of nature is not only the duty of the government, but it is the responsibility of all of us.
Let's start doing small things to protect nature , such as not littering, use more environmentally friendly products and reduce the use of vehicles
that use fuel oil. If we can contribute in protecting our nature, natural disasters will not happen much.

The deadliest opponent we have is nature. Floods are a common catastrophe that significantly harm the economy. Imagine being unable to go to work, start a business, purchase groceries, compromise the delivery of goods, and many other activities that would undoubtedly result in turmoil and an unbalanced economy that would ultimately cause a catastrophe. How can we then address this? The government should be able to help the affected areas, bring relief supplies and operations, and most importantly, the government should notify the public in advance so that people may get ready for it and limit the harm brought on by it.

Of course, in my opinion, the flood causes the economy to be hampered, especially if the flood lasts for months because people will certainly not be able to work optimally and of course their income will decrease and some even go on strike because of the flood. so obviously the flood caused the economy to decline.

Flood or any type of natural disaster often causes a huge economic and social impact on the affected country so much so that businesses and other related activities will be put on hold. These are a natural disaster that can occur without any notice. Especially when the right infrastructure are not in place to reduce the impact.

Regular people are the ones that suffer the most during economic crises. And you already know what happens in the event of flooding. Imagine a nation that is already dealing with inflation, currency depreciation, and severe flooding. Additionally, when the nation's agriculture industry is impacted, the crisis gets worse. It translates to no exports. The postponement of planting seasons is one of the other detrimental impacts. I can only hope that those who are impacted by this are able to survive since I have personally experienced it.

Just reminded me flood disaster that I witnessed, it was not nice at all. It is called natural disaster because it happens naturally but not all floods are natural. The last flood that I witnessed that relocated my family friend was induced. We didn't know, if was after several investigations that the real fact was discovered.

A construction company was to expand road, they had to close the track way of a River to expand the road. The River after struggling for 2 weeks, found another route to a mini community and it because something like a permanent flood.

This has been a problem since then and the situation right now is getting worst, it’s not an ordinary flood anymore many have witnessed the worst.

In my country, flooding happened every year though the government prepared for this already but it looks like nature is still unpredictable especially when they get mad. We are in a place where most of the super typhoons comes in and I can totally say that it can affect many lives and businesses, flooding is a no joke and every country should take action now to address the rising problem of global warming and climate change.

Mild flooding to severe flooding will all have an impact on the economy of the area.
even electricity will be cut off in the flood-affected areas. so that there is no short circuit and so that electricity does not hit the water which can cause people to be electrocuted. night conditions will be a scary night when the flood and the power goes out. then it is certain that shops and all types of business will be stopped. even the delivery and receipt of goods will be hampered. so the price spike will be very high. well, if the flood is at a catastrophic level, it destroys everything that the flood passes, such as gardens and rice fields, houses and all community property. then the economy will definitely be paralyzed there. and even worse what must be considered is that the impact is not only a matter of the economy but the survival of human life itself aka life. HR will be reduced. famine will spread. financial loss can no longer be calculated. which means we can not underestimate the occurrence of flooding. because it affects all sectors of life.

Yes it does.  It causes an economic crisis to the affected county and potentially to other countries that may trade with them, esp if there are some items they depend on from the affected country. 

For sure it has an impact, specially countries that are not prone to flood and suddenly there is a heavy rain so they don't know how to react.

And then the whole farming industries is the first one to get him and then everything will trickle down, prices increases around the world. But there could be solution for government, to import commodities, but it the end if could harm them too. So it's like everything is connected right now, floods destroying crops, businesses stop, houses destroys, people will have to lived in the street, food shortages.

The flood are horrible I have got this image from internet - and this has moved me.
One of the images of FLoods in Pakistan - if sand has reached to the roof, imagine  what would be the water level?

It is clear that as long as a flood occurs, it can make it difficult for people to work, as a result, it will certainly make people lose from an economic point of view. In addition, the sinking of settlements due to a fairly large flood forced flood victims to evacuate to safer places. People who feel the impact of the flood have difficulty carrying out their usual routines, because the flood disaster has hampered access to transportation.
If we talk about the economic crisis, it depends on how long the flood lasts, a flood in just a week will not cause an economic crisis, because after the flood, people can carry out their usual activities.

Water can be life-saving for many things. If there's a drought, it's a catastrophe for crops, and it can lead to hunger. But if there's too much water, it can also kill crops, as well as force communities to relocate if the flood is bad enough that it directly affects houses. Many people think that climate change is a very abstract thing. I it used to be 22 degrees and will now be 23-24, it's fine, right? So what that it'll get a bit hotter. But no, that's not how this works. Devastating effects of climate change are already here, just not everyone is experiencing them. Floods are among them. And, among other things, this will be a huge financial toll on global economy because people in many countries didn't feel like investing in preventive measures and cutting back on what makes it worse, not thinking that then they'll be forced to spend much more later.

Correct. Floods will certainly affect the economic sector. but the effect varies depending on how severe the flood is and how long the flood lasts.
if the flood is included in the category of extreme level flooding, the impact on the economy will be even higher. because big floods sometimes destroy people's houses. and as a result people lost their homes. and in more severe cases can be life-threatening. and if a big flood destroys agricultural areas then a food crisis will occur and food prices will soar. the economic crisis became unavoidable due to crop failure on a large scale. like what happened in Pakistan. but if it's a seasonal flood or a small flood that is common every year in an area. then of course the residents have prepared themselves and have adapted. so that the impact on the economy will not be too pronounced because people are used to it and are ready before the seasonal floods come.

Almost everything thats occurring in the world today
seems to affect economies everywhere. Ever since the
pandemic started, everything went highly vulnerable.
Now with the war and grave effects of global warming,
its what people feared and speculated several years ago
ever since politicians, activists and scientists brought to
the mind and attention to the world of the long term
consequences of global warming. Floods and drought
are now occurring in places they normally don’t happen.
Oceans and sea levels are rising, sinking islands, flooding
cities and stronger storms.. these are what the world is
facing. The said impact will surely continue to rise and
disrupt progress and damage markets and economies.
Hopefully things will get better soon or we will be in a lot
of more trouble.

For that country, inflation is likely to occur, because economic growth will stop, supply and expenditure of goods will no longer be stable during a flood disaster, especially if the disaster falls into a large category and has a wide impact on the country's travel.

This is Further Emphasized when they have cooperative relations with other countries, in the field of exporting superior goods or products, but in my opinion the impact of inflation on other countries is likey to be small, because these counts in large quantities.

I think so too, but in my opinion what caused the economy to collapse was due to a very long flood, for example for months, only if the flood was small and the time was not long, maybe it would only interfere with the activities of the residents, because it feels bad if we walk or ride a vehicle in flood conditions even though it is small.

Small floods are easier to deal with and usually will also recede faster so some people say it is not a big problem that must be discussed continuously. Because the local residents can also deal with it in various ways which are basically not that difficult even though the facts you have stated are true where residents feel uncomfortable when they have to move in flood conditions.

And actually when there is a small flood like that, the government and citizens must move faster to find out where there is a shortage so that they can be hit by flooding and deal with it faster before a bigger flood occurs in the future.

Prolonged flooding will be fatal for local residents, continuous rains can cause an area to be hit by extreme flash floods for months. A few months ago, floods just hit Pakistan, the economic hardship felt by Pakistanis prompted users of the Bitcointalk forum to raise funds through @irfan_pak10 to help local residents. You can see here [Donations] Fundraising for the Floods disaster in Pakistan (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5411358.msg60829860#msg60829860) how sad the Pakistanis feel, the floods that occurred in Pakistan in 2022 are estimated to be equivalent to those that occurred in 2010 which was recorded as the worst flood in Pakistan history.

Nature should not be seen as an opponent, while we call them natural disasters most of the bad things that happen are related to human irresponsibility, for example in the case of floods local authorities give all kind of permission for houses to be built where floods are common, this could be easily avoided by making the necessary studies and forbid the development of any industrial or residential areas where this is common, but since corruption is a problem all over the world government officials are easily convinced of turning a blind eye to this and then people are the ones that have to suffer the consequences.

well. we must be friendly with nature. without damaging and polluting the environment. because nature does not punish humans. but humans themselves destroy nature which causes disasters to come. the lack of forests with large green trees is what makes floods often occur. because trees help hold and absorb water. Trees also resist soil erosion by the strength of their roots. but many people are not aware of the importance of preserving nature. if humans and nature can be friends, in the sense that we humans use nature without destroying it, then disasters such as floods will not be found often. but awareness in protecting the environment is decreasing. so that nature is increasingly damaged. and when nature becomes corrupted then disaster strikes. and when disaster strikes, an economic crisis is certain to occur. because many sectors will be hampered or even destroyed.

Of course all natural disasters almost affect the economy, such as the flood that paralyzes the economy around the flooded area. Because shops,
offices and public transportation must stop until the floods recede and life can go back to normal. So the handling of natural disasters must be done
quickly, so that the economy can recover again. That is why the government budget is so large for handling natural disasters, because if
the handling process is slow, the impact on the economy is quite large. That's why countries that are often hit by natural disasters, will continue
to take preventive measures, starting with educating the public. To issue regulations that make people pay more attention to their environment.
Because the main cause of natural disasters is humans, which does not take good care of nature. That's why we have to start protecting
the environment from the smallest things, disposing of garbage in its place can prevent flooding.

Does that mean that in the area where you live, there is no government or community who wants to preserve the forest so that the forest can easily become a settlement and a factory? If that still happens in your place, then immediately call on the government and surrounding areas to keep the forest so that it is no longer damaged by irresponsible hands. Because forests can also be economic land and a good source of economy if they know how to use them and don't cut down wood without planting other seeds.

Pandemic caused the world to stop all together for a year nearly, we were in lockdown for many months, came back and then got locked down again and this continued for a while and we still survived as humanity. This means that if we end up with anything in the crypto world or real fiat world where it's flood, earthquake or any other natural disaster that stops us for a while, that means we are going to end up recovering from that as well.

This doesn't mean that it will be a problem, it just means that we are talking about something that will only give us a break, the economy will be stopped and bad for only a while but when it's over we will be going back to where we left it.

It's natural for flood to cause economic crisis because it typically destroys everything a country has worked for. Affected areas will find it difficult to establish a certain status quo and it can deplete funds of the government to be able to restore it back to normal

Floods also destroys physical infrastructure and disrupts socio-economic activities which are connected to agricultural sector and could affect food production.It may even affect the prizes of goods and services.

    Yes we know already that one , special this generation we noticed that there's more calamities happened out there's and most common happen is flood that unlike before it's easily drain but now due of more pollution more barrier that people can't do activities in everyday.

It depends on how big the impact of the flood is. Whether the radius is wide or narrow. Not all floods can affect the economy at large. Because here the flood will only cause a health crisis, there is no self-awareness of the environment and the government's attention is needed on a green environment. In big cities, flooding often occurs due to lack of greenery, closed sewerage. Therefore, the economic impact of the local population is affected.

Pay attention to the factors that influence the occurrence of flooding, and find the root of the problem. If floods affect changes in the economy, perhaps a concrete example is that people will leave places that are prone to flooding, move to safer places and look for potential business sectors.

There is no room for economic change for a flooded country, on the contrary, flooding causes the economy to fall apart from all sectors, you know this flood can hamper economic growth before the situation returns to normal as usual.

except economic changes when floods hit a country, can be solved in a way.
• economic growth can arise from the help of other countries who want to help, financial assistance and other forms can be used to improve the economy of countries affected by floods, as long as the authorities do not blame the aid that comes or corruption.

correctly. Major floods even destroyed agricultural areas. and as a result the farmers experienced crop failure. and crop failure has an impact that cannot be taken lightly. Due to crop failure, food stocks are limited. and the food crisis will eventually hit the area. even land that has been affected by floods will be difficult to re-manage and be used as agricultural areas again in a short time. for the land to be normal it requires time and a difficult process. so that in a long time the farmers could not directly farm again. because they need to repair the flood affected area first.

crisis is always there , even natural or man made still crisis will affect economy , there are lots of happening in the world but what we need to understand is that we are here to be ready and be functional in every crisis that we will cross in our life, the government cannot cover our losses so we are human has to do with this in early stages.
there are also flood happening and earthquake and even tsunami so what are the reason for us not to be having support when there is this kind ? it is our obligation so be ready.

Of course it is very difficult to avoid natural disasters, this is because disasters will never be suspected, many countries try to invest in tools or budgets for disasters, but everything is not effective, all we can do is help victims of natural disasters.

It's a common problem for which everyone is responsible. The government does not strictly manage the people, so mass deforestation often occurs without people even knowing it, deforestation is the cause of climate change, angering Mother Nature. We can see that floods or storms are becoming more and more dangerous, earthquakes are also increasing, all these are caused by us.

I really have a feeling our earth hundreds of years from now will be like in fiction movies about the destruction of the earth, lack of food, lack of water, everything becomes desolate. If people are not conscious in researching and exploiting resources indiscriminately, the earth will soon be on the verge of extinction.

Floods and other natural disasters will certainly hamper the economy, many losses caused, for example in the agricultural sector that fails to harvest so as to make food ingredients become rare and deep will make the price of food skyrocketed.

We have faced something like that, and even though we are still facing the troubles of those days, we at least managed to survive it as humanity. Pandemic caused lockdowns and staying at home, but people who had to leave their homes for work reasons did so with care, and even though millions died around the world, we have seen humanity survive.

This means that flood, earthquake, pandemic, epidemic, or whatever else the world could throw at us, we could survive it as humanity. The only difference is being ready versus not ready, if you are not ready like we weren't for pandemic, then we are going to face inflations and recessions and many other economical problems.

Almost every part of the world have experienced some difficulty. To overcome the same it needs time, and the healing won't happen in a short. One by one hit the world, pandemic made a global impact. Even now covid-19 crisis is going around. Further the same caused people loss jobs and lifestyle difficulties. Later the food shortage out of war. The oil price hike that landed in the price increase of each and everything. Now floods in many part of the world is making big damage to the economy. However the work from home keeps the economy to some level without much lag.

Yes, flood is a natural thing that occur, it is affecting the economy directly or indirect. All 97% of flooding causes economics down ward, it brings down the economy of a place. Just of recent it happens in my community, normally it always happens but this time around it has surprised everyone because we lost more than 100% of our farm products and equipment.

I believe that climate change is real because some changes are taking place but also that we cannot ignore them as if they are weather phenomena and will go away on their own. However, disasters that fall into the "slow and location" category are still easy to detect, unlike earthquakes.

As we can see, flood disasters will occur more frequently in the future, which means that flood forecasting technology is urgently needed. In addition to data collection and processing technology to develop a forecasting model that takes into account seasonal rainfall as disaster mitigation, if it is small, it is easy to handle if it is large, which has a large impact and adds to the financial burden of a country to handle it.

The impact of the flood disaster is quite large for a place's economy, health, and can also bring death. maybe almost every year in some areas they are always flooded due to several factors, one of which is excessive deforestation which can have a bad impact on the surrounding environment during floods and also indiscriminate garbage disposal can trigger sustainable floods in the future.

I don't think flooding is a completely natural thing but today the accidents we call natural disasters, floods, earthquakes...are increasing and becoming more and more aggressive year by year. This is largely due to human impact, industrial zones, tall buildings, logging, deforestation, mining...All of this has caused the climate to change rapidly and now we are suffering the consequences that we have caused for many years.

Where I live, known as the highlands, the mountains 10 years ago never had floods, but now things are slowly changing. Heavy rain, high winds, tornadoes, the likes of which we have never seen before, appeared.

Natural disasters are getting easier to happen, this is because there is no natural balance, many people destroy forests and cut down plants so that when it rains it is certain that it will flood easily, of course this is a disaster that is difficult to avoid and can create an economic crisis in the long term.

The impact of the flood disaster affects the economic factor because transportation cannot be accessed and the market area does not function, so that if the environment often experiences floods due to land expansion, for example building industries, buildings and others, the impact of changes in mountainous areas is not able to withstand flooding. So, public awareness should be increased because natural disasters indicate that nature does not accept human nature that destroys natural ecosystems.

Constant floods are one of the effects of global warming. Overpopulation leads to further destructions of our natural environment. Floods can destroy cities, agriculture and many industries that are important in the economy. Once the basic necessities such as food and water are affected, it will turn into a total disaster. And investors will become hesitant to invest in such cities and places that are dangerous to their businesses.

Scientists have long been sounding the alarm about the rapid melting of glaciers that have persisted on our planet for thousands of years. Because of this, the level of the world's oceans is rising and many coastal and mainland territories, which will be lower in level than the world's oceans, will be flooded. There are even special maps that show exactly which territories will go under water completely. Including because of these processes, the climate on earth is changing dramatically. Somewhere volcanoes wake up, somewhere drought sets in.
The climate on Earth is constantly changing. However, humanity, due to its short-sightedness and stupidity, has sharply accelerated this process.

That destruction is caused by none other than ourselves, it is we who are pushing us to the difficulties of the present. Just for the sake of racing to have a modern and comfortable life, we have exploited and destroyed everything present on this earth to satisfy our own needs.
All these natural disasters, I think it will not only cause economic crisis but over time it will cause the destruction of humanity. Maybe that won't happen to our generation anytime soon, but if we continue with the current state, sooner or later the destruction of the earth will come.

Not being ready for unexpected things could happen to a government, and could happen to a person. Just to give an example, making about 700 dollars per month would be more than enough for me, lets not say "more" but like.. enough to live a decent life at least, right?

If we have that in the pocket and if I am making that much give or take (some months that much, some months just a little less but not that much) then why am I not living a great life? Simple, because there were things that happened that wasn't expected which caused troubles for me.

Since last year’s october, we had a terrible year in health wise, it has been a HORRIBLE year for me, worst year of my entire life, hated every second of it, and this put a financial burden that I didn't expected and now I am in debt. Same could always happen to nations as well as a whole.

Actually natural disasters do occur because of human behavior itself, which does not take care of nature properly and only exploits natural resources.
Therefore, in fact, most areas with a high population density have a high chance of natural disasters such as floods. I agree that human population
must be controlled, because as you said overpopulation will cause environmental damage. Everything actually depends on how the government
educates and controls the population, to prevent flooding due to natural damage caused by humans themselves. Because natural disasters such as
floods greatly affect the economy, because investors will leave areas that often experience flooding. If that is the case in that area the economy
will not develop, and result in citizens experiencing an economic crisis. So flooding can indeed cause an economic crisis if it is not resolved immediately.
Therefore, there must be a lot of education so that humans are more concerned about protecting the natural environment and not destroying it.

Of course, because flooding is a natural disaster. Floods can damage anything, including the economy. If floods continue to hit a city, of course the city can be very chaotic, can damage homes, places that are used as trade, agricultural land. And also other places that are flooded. In this way, human life will be greatly hampered.

Most countries today do not care about the environment such as planting trees, forests that change their function into agriculture and agricultural land into industry makes when rain water falls it cannot enter the ground so that it will become a disaster that is flooding.

Floods can be very detrimental to all aspects,
because there will be a lot of delayed one's activities,

especially in big cities, which are full of companies, with perhaps thousands of employees,
it will hinder the activities of workers because

• the road will be blocked by puddles
• company employees will definitely take a day off
• the condition of the electric current is also likely to go out
• and it will definitely hinder industrial activity,

so friends, keep your place of residence from the garbage that has piled up,
because it can cause flooding,
because garbage will clog waterways, and cause flooding.

Flood is one among the worse natural disasters any country should experience. One thing about flood is that it has a root or track. If there's flood in a particular area, and eventually it was well managed or stopped, there is every tendency that flood will proceed from that same area in the future. That is one bad thing I hate about flood.
Flood chases companies and businesses, it doesn't only destroy businesses, it destroyes properties as well as humans.

There has never been an economic crisis caused by flooding. The economic crisis is a major event in a country as a whole. Meanwhile, flooding only occurs in a small area within a country, and has no effect on the economic crisis.
If you ask whether floods cause hunger? Of course yes. Because all access can be cut off.

I think global warming is different. It's already on its name "warming" which means the earth is heating up. This can in fact lessen the floods around while it was the climate change is the one that can cause a flood.

There is no problem with the population as long as people are well disciplined and won't do things which can cause a harm to our environment. Floods can be fatal and not only those items that you have you listed can be destroyed by a flood but it can also end the lives of the many. I think that is more devastating because lives can not be returned anymore once it lost while those cities and agriculture can always be rebuilt again.

Climate change is the effect of global warming. Global warming made our climates and weather behave differently. Ice and snow are melting fast and it increases our sea level. All of these can cause floods. Global warming can increase evaporation and lands goes dry quickly while our misbehaving winds carry them to different locations and if it falls into a non-elevated city floods will occur.

The population is a problem. Heavy population equals heavy deforestation, high level of greenhouse gas emissions, shortage of food, and many imbalances it creates. 

Natural disasters have always happened on our planet. And flooding in certain areas was one of them. But in recent decades, natural disasters have become more frequent and this is caused by global climate change and, above all, the melting of glaciers that have existed for hundreds and thousands of years.
Human economic activity causes irreparable damage to the environment. Scientists predict that due to the melting of glaciers, the level of the world ocean will rise significantly and part of the land on all continents will flood. Also, at the same time, the temperature on the planet will rise and this will lead to the fact that in some parts of the planet the climate will be unsuitable for human life. We still have some time to improve the situation. But the history of previous civilizations shows that we learn little from our past mistakes.

Flood does not just affect economy, but also pauses life activities as individuals are forced to build from scratch. Agricultural produce are not left behind in the wake of this natural disaster and as such the cost of goods get high and scarce.

 In where I come from, at present, flood has taken over some areas of the state, causing destruction to not just life but properties as well.
 
 

absolutely right. All kinds of disasters, be it floods or other disasters, will certainly have a major impact on all aspects of life. The economy is certainly on the affected list. but if we talk about flooding, if it is a flood that lasts for a relatively long time, then I am more worried about the impact on the health of the residents affected by the flood itself. because usually puddles from floods always cause many diseases, especially skin diseases. even if prolonged flooding can make food stocks dwindle and even lack of fellow human beings. so that it has an impact on the condition of the body of people who are starving to weaken their immune system. and that makes them vulnerable to more severe disease. so it can be said that the most feared impact of a disaster such as a flood other than the economy is the impact that threatens the lives of all those affected by the disaster.

Floods only look good if they don't damage anything or eliminate anything in local residents' settlements. But if a flood can damage agricultural land and damage people's houses and roads where residents access it every day, where is the good value in that?

Because there are many people who fail to harvest when their land is flooded and it is mostly caused by deforestation that is not controlled by the local government so that flood disasters can easily come to villages or cities not far from the mountains. Although this also happened because the drainage ditches were still narrow and not too deep so that overflowing water could easily come to residents' settlements.

Floods and natural disasters can certainly be the cause of crises, especially the food crisis, many agricultural lands are damaged resulting in crop failure, this makes us always have to protect the environment so that floods do not occur.

This ties in closely with the wider climate change problem, many people are simply not prepared for what the future is going to bring. As the ice caps melt, sea levels will rise - not just because of the water being released but because water expands as it heats up. The jet streams will also be drastically changed, which keep a relatively stable climate in most areas, looking at the Atlantic ocean for example: air is warmed in the gulf of Mexico, it then travels up towards Europe and finally cools back down as it reaches the Arctic, it travels in a somewhat circular motion. Storms will get a lot more violent as we're already seeing, droughts will hit in unexpected places and generally the weather will get more extreme - massively damaging to humanity wherever it is.

The flood will surely impact the economy for sure.Mainly it affected the vehicle and houses near the ponds,lakes.So the people affected by such things will use their long term savings for the unwanted expenses.Then the people may get health issues,they need to spend for it.It reduce the money flow to the regular expenses.So the economy based regular activity will affect.Secondly the government stop to give the waiver for certain things,since they need to spend on other things because of floods.

At least you've got one thing right, flooding is a part of our world and with it on the rise, it gives the environmentalist and all the more reason to cry out bitcoins and emissions and the destruction of our ecosystem! Apparently the thread isn't very much centered on that but the effects of the floods as per economic development.
As one who is living in a nation currently ravaged by flood, I take it that its effect is way on the negative than we would have imagined it. We've got people displaced from there homes, destruction of property and damage to economic goods and even life.

Flooding kind of resets the economy of most regions as some times, the roads gets so flooded that, mobility/transportation of goods even when available becomes difficult. Some of the solution, keep drainages clean and bestbnot to build in water ways and landfills.

Flooding is fetching a lot of economics crises because we experienced big flooding this time around. It damaged a lot of things like rice farm, properties etc. It is factor that affecting economy

Is your country currently experiencing a major flood? Because my place is still very safe from flooding and the general economic cycle is still very smooth and has no disturbance at all. This is because the government is still very concerned about dealing with natural disasters that can come suddenly when the rainy season is over, because during the rainy season there will often be flooding if the water disposal is full and makes the flow of water not smooth.

The way some states in Nigeria are currently suffering due to flood is very alarming. There have been numerous warnings and announcements regarding flood, but neither the government nor the people were paying attention. Most residential houses are close to the river bank, and several warnings have been given. It is undoubtedly true that most governments currently don't take environmental issues to be a treat to them, not considering their effect on both life and properties.

Those are some of those livelihoods that are devastated by floods. But there's an interconnection of it with so many and other industries when floods have been taking those fields.

It is nice that you're living in a flood-free area. It's true that it's also going to start with the initiative of the government to make flood control projects so that it won't be a burden to its constituents.

But sadly, not all governments are too concerned with this matter because they're living to the reality that many have been used to these experiences of going with the flood.

Flood causes tons of industries to crumble, leading up to short-term economic crisis when things aren't patched up as fast as possible. People can technically recover from it, but it will be hard for businesses to do so, most especially if their products are wasted by the flood. It will lead to a lot of loans, lots of insurance claims, and lots of uncertainties leading to a mini collapse in the economy of the flood-stricken area.

Flood is also the reason why a lot of "flood-free" lands are being reclaimed with higher premium than others. The higher initial investment outpaces the possible losses over time due to flooding. Then again, flooding will always be a constant problem for us, since no one is safe from Mother Nature, especially if all of our forest areas and other important natural defenses are being stripped out of resources to fulfill our needs.

It will not affect the economy of that country but it will only affect businesses and cost of living to be high in the affected area.When the flood is high,it must affect businesses and some persons might even lose their lives. People will find difficult to carry out their various activities such as workers going to work,students will not go to school, it might even displaced the people whereby, they leave their residents and go to a government camp built for flood victims and making life difficult for them at the period.

 Sometimes when the flood gets high to the an extend,it can even damage the road,this make transportation of goods into and out of the state,which will lead to inflation in prices of commodities. The longer the flood, the more damage it does to businesses in that area. Some business will even shut down for a flood breaks

Flood seriously has a negative impact on the economy.
https://i.ibb.co/TKwDQbs/Untitled-design-11.jpg
Checking out this picture, can someone in this environment be able to do any business transaction. When transportation is been disturbed, it affect alot in the economy as worker won't be able to go to work. It disrupts economic processes and causes a food shortage. businessmen/businesswomen will be unwilling to invest in disaster-prone areas. This make the development of such areas standstill.

Flood causes food shortage and wastage. Farmers especially farmers planting perishable goods are at high risk here. Transporting their farm produces become difficult and this may lead to the spoilage of the products.

That's true and also don't forget about the destruction of their fields. That's likely to happen when there are floods unless they're from a high area which won't be reached by those floods.

If someone will just look at it, it seems that there's no impact at all. But think of it if that happens to many farmers and other people that are transporting goods and are part of the business.

There's a massive cause that's being affected by the floods.

Another flood and natural disaster is a serious problem that can cause a food crisis so that it will make the price of food skyrocketed and become the beginning of inflation, when flooding certainly causes damage to agriculture and buildings.

And most states in Nigeria are currently going through the same flood problem now after the heavy downpours over a number of days and the release of water from the Cameroon's Lagdo Dam which has resulted to the effect of what is being seen across most Nigerian states disrupting all economic activities in those sates and by extension other states.
This is Bayelsa State in the southern part of the country.

Flood is another type of human or natural disaster that can be destabilize the economic flow of a state or country. Whenever a flood occurs in a particular place, there is every tendency is going to destroy many things(properties, farmlands, animals, roads etc). A place that has experienced flooding hardly be the same in terms of economic inflow and outflow of goods and services. That's why the government and non-governmental agencies do come to their aid to rescue, support and encourage them because on their own, they are helpless, and can't do anything for themselves due to how displaced and disorganised they seem to be

We have seen that floods have given new challenges to the common man. Though they do not cause an economic crisis due to their temporary nature, it is a different matter when such crises shift from one country to another and spread infection globally. As such, we should take preventive measures against such potential disaster.

The answer is no, flood is not the cause of economics crises but it results in affecting poor communities and helps to grow economies of developed nations.

This year flood is taking a nee dimension as mkst of the major dams were full already, alarm had been sent to those living close to such areas suspected to be affected by flooding, by now i expect people to have been making moves for evacuation from thos areas in bid for prevention while the government as well are expected to begin adequate precautionary measure to tackle any further disaster that might come in through flooding.

I don't think so, floods have an effect on a country's economy. If your country is an exporter of agricultural products, floods or extreme weather will destroy crops, lose crops, people have no harvest, affect exports and drag the national economy in a bad direction. The people are rich, the country will be strong, the power of government comes from the prosperity of the people.

After each disaster, crop failure, the government will have to intervene to help people improve productivity, as well as land to create a bountiful harvest. Without this interaction, the people would fall into poverty and the government would soon collapse. Floods or natural disasters are no different from other crises that cause economic loss or loss of life, affecting the development of the country.

Floods can destroy anything, especially if the flood is very big, it will sweep the whole place and make everyone suffer.
