Flood the natural disaster

[coolcoinz]

That's like a part of the real estate investor's rulebook that you don't buy land in areas that are endangered by floods and if you have to, you make sure the houses are built to sustain at least partial flooding.
When you own a land that can be flooded, you can make it safer by building raised house that would require the water to rise to a certain level before it gets flooded.



I live in an area relatively safe from flooding, but there's a guy who built a house at much lower elevation, on an old pond. He literally covered the pond with dirt and rocks to flatten it and built a house there. If we ever get flooded he's at the lowest point in the area and is going to be swimming long before the rest of us

Agencies supporting flood victims vary from country to country. There are always many of them non profit organizations working with either the government of a country, state or working with WHO directly to aid flood victims in that particular country. To know them is simple, just google "agencies that support flood victims in (country name)". You'll get a list of them, the locality they operate in the country and how they operate. Most of them ask for donations, so if you're looking for where to do some charity. I'm sure it'll be well appreciated by them.

Have we consider the rate of rainfall on seas and oceans, how it overflows the dams and nearby rivers that led to having an overflow of waters down to the community lived by people, there's a certain amount of water level every rivers must reach before it is declared disastrous for every nearby environment because if it breakout such could lead to flooding, most of the cases of serious flooding we had were as a result of higher and prolonged rainfalls, the solution is to always abstain from any riverine area in case of flood, those that will be firstly affected are these category of people living near the river.

@Dunamisx I grew up in Stilt Building in the Creek and river rine terrain. I am from the swampy area in Niger Delta  so I know the different between Natural flood and man made flood. The natural flood that came to destroy things in Niger Delta was in 1990 and particularly in my swampy communities. Now the rain that falls in the sea and the oceans flow to the lagoons then from the lagoons it flows down to the rivers and other Deltas.

In my experience in this world about flooding, the sea and the oceans water that deposited to the River Niger and River Benue is seasonal and not every year but this recent occurrences are not from the natural occurrence but man made. There is a way the water in the dams can be controlled and it will not destroy communities again. I believed America have dams, and other advance countries have dam but they have not used it to destroy they local communities but Africa is different.

There are NGOs that take responsibility for victims of natural disasters and do everything in their power to support the victims by offering aid. Since most natural disasters are caused by human activity, if we can't find a way to reduce our carbon footprint, we will all suffer as a result. Therefore, I believe that the majority of these NGOs should start doing amazing things regarding the environment and people should start taking environmental issues seriously. And WHO has done a lot of good for a lot of victims, most of this countries it will be hard that you don't see their representatives their in a country and that is how it is suppose to be.

Since floods have a natural tendency that makes them a yearly thing since the most are rainfalls that increase the water level, the government must take responsibility for building enough water banks that will take in all the water excess during the rainy season.

It is not as if there are no government agencies that has such responsibility to take care of flooding preventions but government is nonchalant about their agencies to be sure people assigned to manage them are true to it but firebrigade approach is used at the time of raining season and flooding but that doesn't go anywhere to prevent the harm because the preventive measures of clearence of debris in waterways before raining season is not followed .

I will still tie corruption to the reason that these agencies that sees to flooding don't do what they are suppose to do before the season, the government disburse monies required to these agencies but they usually don't get utilized just like other agencies whose assigned money end up in private account.

Government have indeed been none challant approach or high corruption that have pause limitation to the achievement of such projects,  like some time in 2010-2012 here in my country,  the then government awarded the contract to drain on of the lower river basin that serve as flood reserves for both my country and some other other neighbouring countries,  but due to corruption,  the project was not executed and fhat have resulted into continues flooding at each running season,  so this is one of those the inability of the government or its agencies to provide guides and monitoring to the project delivery and this could have been possibly aided by corruption.

So sure we will continue to call on the government,  since such a capital project,  requires the presence of government because such a project may be more than just an individual of state since the flood cut across multiple locations.

The change should start from ourselves. Practice the 5Rs everyday at least, if we can't help other people.
There are so many NGOs and other agencies already helping or assisting people but would be nice if we can also help in our own small ways.
Disasters will always be here. We can also prepare ourselves for this kind of crisis so we can survive when such disaster hits in our area.
Be mindful about what you do everyday. A simple segregation of your trash would be a nice initiative from your side.

This natural disaster is something that has become a yearly nightmare all around the world...
It displaces people... properties... businesses...lost of lives.etc
I think there should be an organization all around the world to tackle this to an extent..
What's your take on this?

when I comes to the issue of flood and natural disasters, I feel that our carelessness is me of the major reasons we are experiencing it year after year. In my environment that I'm sure I can relate easily with, people are daily enaginging in activities that will certainly lead to fluid inng or other disasters but are doing little I nothing to boosting their climatic condition. You see continuous cutting down of trees and continuous blockage of drainages in areas that have becomes prone to flooding and the people living in this environment are doing little or nothing to helping themselves and when the flooding finally hits down on them, they will now start crying and shouting for help.

I think this is a natural disaster that is beyond the human control. Flood is a disaster that is very dangerous and even before this is an even that has been taken place, and in these situation many properties have been destroyed,  and life have lose. If this was something that could be controlled I don't think it will be still be occurring.  Nobody loves natural disaster just that people can't just put the end of it occurrence that is why it keeps on happening all the time.

Just like you mentioned It , natural disaster is not something you can predict even the climatologist with their skills And knowledge can not predict It because it is something natural .its determinant is wholistic And non predictive because its only happens when the nature  expects it .lets take a look At flood , earthquakes, hurricane winds And wave as a case study , these natural phenomenon occurs as a result of nature ! Some experts might try So hard to predict it But the outcome might disappoint them .

Insurance firms with her protective measures do not Insure any loss arising out of nature because it can not be predicted And Its effects is quite adverse on the society At Large .however most firms placed them under exclusion clauses or add a highier premium to accept the risk So to be safer from the unforeseen circumstances .

In addition, these natural disaster had caused more harm than Good to individuals or Society At large because it destroys property , kill citizens , causes havoc , Business disruption ,And many others . And At same times reduces  the growth of the Economy And also causes effective loss of lives .

It's encourages alot when we are seing non governmental organizations taking over the aid to help other people who were affected by the flood or any other form of natural disasters, when governments are even contributing less to what these NGOs are giving, this is out of their passion and a kind heartedness towards human race by considering other people who were being affected by creating rescue response to help them willingly.

[Suzume]

People suffer a lot because of nature disaster. Especially flood it's creat lot of problem for flood addected people. They do t get enough food pure water. They are homeless. Considering all of this the people who stuck in flood they suffer a lot. Many die in during flood. It's creat hell to the flood addected areas. Those who suffers in this situation they know what the badest situation the flood creates.

I agree that natural disasters should be dealt with globally. While we may not be able to stop them from happening, we can work together to prepare for and respond to these events in a coordinated and effective manner. This includes implementing early warning systems, developing infrastructure to withstand extreme weather events, and providing resources and support to those affected by natural disasters. By coming together as a global community, we can minimize the impact of these events and support those in need.

Flood is a natural disaster meaning it is caused by nature.And it causes damage to properties, wildlife etc.In my country it has become a yearly occurence but it wasn't experienced last year.Flood as a natural disaster it's natural when it is caused by heavy rainfall, climate change and it is artificial when it is caused by poor drainage or structures, release of water from neighbouring countries.
                          Effect of Flood
1.Loss of Lives:When there is a flood, people and animals loss their lives.Which causes reduction in population.
2.Loss of Properties:When there is a flood, people loss their properties.In search of comfort, victims of flood leave their valuables in order to protect their lives and the valuables get damaged after the flood.
3.Migration: Migration is also one major effect of flood that reduce population in an area.When there is a flood, people migrate to areas that are not affected by flood and may never choose to return.

[JustineCollins09]

I think you should pitch your exact idea instead. Insurance is the way you can do it other wise look for NPOs

Food disaster is a very serious topic we need to talk about because there are still people that are suffering today because of insufficient availability of food. We need to know what we are doing as a country so that people don't keep suffering because of food shortage.
The war that is going on now could bring a disaster to us as people if it affect food supply chains.
Food is alvery important for every man because it is what keep us going as a humans.

Yes flood is a natural disaster.  But we are somehow responsible for most of the floods.  We are polluting the environment so much that the climate is changing abnormally.  River filling is one of them.  There are also many problems for throwing plastic, garbage. First we need to be aware. Because we are harming ourselves without our knowledge. And we need to build an organization that will help the flood affected people. They will be relocated before the flood destroys them all.  .and will arrange for rehabilitation after the flood.

How can an organization tackle floods around the globe? Practically impossible.
Nowadays, due to global warming and climate change, more and more underdeveloped countries are facing challenges like floods, lack of rain etc. My country is also facing the same threats.

The only possible solution to this problem is to cut global carbon emissions. The developed countries are already behind schedule on this goal. At the individual country level, there should be proactive measures to reduce the impact of floods on the people by making dams and water reservoirs.

It is estimated by the UN Environment Program (UNEP) that global carbon emissions must be cut by 42% by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement's target of keeping climate change below 1.5C.

Man cannot interfere with the laws of nature.Currently, due to global warming, the level of natural disasters around the world has increased a lot. One of the causes of global warming is building more factories. You said that flood is a natural disaster to prevent this natural disaster people do different things but they cannot do it properly. Our country has floods every year and every year there is a huge loss of crops of farmers and even many houses are destroyed due to river erosion.

Many agencies or institution are into flood stuff, but what you need to know is that there is nothing anyone can do about it, they only this people can do is to avoid building in the water ways and dredging shanties, this will help the water not to look for alternative means to flow which may result to the flood itself.

Flood is a natural phenomenon that's bound to happen, another thing people can do is that when they get information from the government agency or international communities about eminent flood and the need to prepared for it, and again the government will have to provide an emergency evacuation plan to remedy the situation.

Individual countries need to work on food security because when flood happen, there is always problem to the supply of food.
Flood is a big case that needed to be looked into and all prevalent means to reduce the effect of flood on food chains should be adjusted or rectified. There are regions that flood had been there problem and planting and doing other things had been a problem for them that had made people to relocate from such environment.
