Flood the natural disaster

In my personal point of view, that is one of the biggest ambitions and what ultimately humanity is about a constant pursue on controlling nature in order to have a comfortable place to live, food to eat and machines to do the work for us easier.
I would even go as far as saying that engineering is the branch of science which in charge of trying to put the nature and its laws at the service of human civilization, hence comes the development of dams, nuclear reactors, machines , giant vessels, etc.

Rather than stupidity, perhaps there is some element of the human instinct of challenging the rule of nature.
The Japanese does not have many options but stay in their island and deal with earthquakes, making their building and infrastructure strong enough to endure through time and disasters. Or maybe it is indeed stupidity

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..

We have several agencies both International and local agencies that take of flood management and in my country, we have a governmental agency that is scheduled to the responsible for flood management but despite all of that,  we still record cases of flood at all times and also lack of proper management of the waterways is what has resulted into all of that and at the same time lack of the agency commitment into making sure that all protocols and procedures are properly followed.

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.

Corrupted government is one of the main causes of why this is all happening especially in our city, we don't have a problem with floods in the past decades but when the government starts to fix the roads with fixed budgets, the city cannot survive heavy rain anymore and it floods really quick while that's not really our problem before. I never dreamt of a day when heavy rain would turn out to be a nightmare for us because the last time it flooded here, our neighbor died when she tried to cross the slippery road and fell and she hit her head and she died on the spot. She was just trying to evacuate because their house was already flooded.

Flood is natural disaster creates are huge type a problem in a country. Flood create food problem water problem and people faces huge amount of losses they lost their house their savings. Some people those who don't know how to swim the die on the flood water. Some fall into illness through water disease. Flood creates are huge problem of flood area people. They suffer a lot and lost many thing from  life.

flood is truly devastating but one of the ways to minimize its losses is to keep our trees and plant some more especially for those countries, like mine, with an abundant natural  forests those can help weaken typhoon coming our way thus reducing the risks of flood

another thing is to keeping our streets clean one of the reasons for flood is the lack of way to go to they often get stuck in streets because some are clogged taking care of our environment is one way to avoid further losses

There are many problems that flood creates but who creates flood? It is us. Because of the garbages that we're throwing everywhere, the cutting of trees that sucks the excess water in land.

It is because of us.

This is the revenge of nature to us so start out being responsible and start from ourselves, I'm doing my part on that and trying to become a better person. With everyone's contribution and collective little effort that we do, we can make a change.

There is also a role that government need to carry out too in trying to ensure that people don't do wrong things by using their waste to block drainages because they dump it in undesignated places. Government need to provide people with waste basket or trucks and also map out places close to people where they can dump their refuse waste.

Talking about nature fighting back, it is normal to see flood when drainages have been blocked, so government need stronger policy that they will follow up both in providing water ways and to ensure that people don't dump refuse where not assigned for that because people can behavior in ways they choose when not controlled.

Natural or normal flood never come to destroy properties and Hunan beings but the ones I have experienced these years in Nigeria are from human beings. Cameron open her dam and Nigeria could not control the dam from Cameron then it enter into the lakes and rivers and Creeks and spoiled and damages farm lands and houses and prosperities. In Nigeria Everyone was thinking that flood would come this year and federal government also announced it in national TV and radio but good convert it and it didn't come so we are expecting the flood next year.

Natural disaster has been in existence for a very long time now and I don’t think that can’t be stopped. Many things have been put in place in order to make the environs a better place for all by government of the country where are affected. You can’t deny their efforts but just know that they can’t do it all. Nature is nature, you can only controls and manage the effects of it that accompanies it, if not that then you can’t stop it from happening.

Government have special organizations and agencies that tackle flood and control it in some advance countries, while some under developed countries, non governmental organizations are helping most people that are been affected by flood.
Sometimes, lack of proper planning of environment is the main cause of flood because if environment is well planned, there will be water ways and flood will be minimal.

In my country,  we have some region where flood is a yearly occurrence for them,  and the government have set up various committees to checkmate the activities of the waterways and where there are blockages,  but due to the corruption in the system,  this has made it impossible to find a lasting solution thlonthebissue of flood and another natural disaster.

So for sure,  even though flood is a natural disaster,  but it can still be controlled or managed.

My brother in my location we live in an island. The sea level of the water is higher than the land so whenever the sea river is rising then most of the houses in the area or the state will be submerged and there is no model to address this issues and as you said, the corrupt leaders or contractors siphon the money for personal use. And from various discussions we have engaged in the community level, we came to discover that the government make put a stop to that once and for all if they really want to do work for the people in their territories.

And one of the simplest way is that, this yearly flood that occurring is a fresh water and not a salt water and salt water comes from the sea and fresh water and salt water can not live in one place so the modality we set to douse this problem if the government can do it is to channel very big pipes from different Creeks to the sea and whenever the flood comes, the pipes will drain the water the sea and the problem of flooding will be a story of the past. But the leaders are using this flooding to make money so they won't let it go.

Really do you think rechaneling the pipes to the sea will solve the problem and not result in another bigger one for those who are living in other part is of the country which shares the same rivers and sea connection and that way they may become victims of a more drastic flood situation in a short time from now,  I still remember when 2010 the president approves the digging of the lower venue river bank but the project abounded suddenly after the launch.

So if the government ever want to do something incredible to solve this situation it will be to carry out a major overhaul of the river base and make our banks tccommodate more water and proper channelling of water in the flood-prone areas

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.

Well abstaining from river banks area may be a sure solution as an individual precaution measures,  but then also we have to mention some vital aspect and features that we need to consider before diving into such discussion and how their effect our overall well being and the community at large.

But at the government level,  the best possible measure isnro did our water ways and make room for more water banks which will aid in absorbing the water and making a proper dischargement possibilities.

Talking about government levels, they can try their own best to make sure that every water channels to the rivers are appropriately monitored accordingly, this includes the outlets, water level indicators, exit drainages and every other means that they can use to absorb water away from the river in case of getting over flooded, but we should also know that government can only try their efforts maybe by building dams, reservoirs and other control mechanism, but they may not be hundred percent effective in control against the flooding event if the worst should happen through heavy downpour.

In centuries back that want even the American government told Nigeria to do. They told Nigerian government to do two things which Nigerian government refused to do because of the cost. The first thing they (USA) told Nigeria government was to create a dam which can accommodate the dam water from Cameron whenever they they (Cameron) open theirs. But Nigerian government refused to do it because of corruption and the second thing they told us to do was the rechannelling of the water to the sea with pipes that very big as 50 to 100 feets. But they refused to do that too and I believe if these structures are put in place, flood will be a thing of the past in the country but they will not do it because they are using the flood to make money internationally.

The digging or dredging the rivers and river banks will never solve the problem. How many River have they digged and dredged in my area that flood is still affect us in the Niger Delta. Nigerian government know what to do but they will not do it because of selfish interest.

Every government/ state has its natural disaster unit and having one unit for the whole world is non ineffective compared to individual state units. Natural disasters are something that is inevitable and they may happen at any time/anywhere for thousands of different reasons so loss of property and lives can't be avoided from such scenarios.

As an individual, if you are living in a range where natural disasters are more likely to happen then start preparing life to minimize its risk for example Japan is an earthquake-prone region so they are giving reliable structural designs to their infrastructure to hold up to certain level and also keep the people educated what to do at that situation.

Also, they have a notification/prediction system that will alert all the people if there is such an incident.

Except for Red Cross, I'm not familiar with the names of any other humanitarian organizations that assists in natural and manmade disasters, but I know that we have many of them.  We have many NGOs and Charity organizations that comes to the aid of victims of natural disasters like flood. Nobody can cheat or challenge nature, when it comes with disasters like flood, volcanoes, earthquakes and the rest, people living in those areas becomes vulnerable with the destructions that cones with them. So in these cases the victims must need help, and these many humanitarian organizations are available to give the needed care. I believe that these organizations get their fundings from philanthropists, governments and other well meaning organizations.
