    FLOOD

    Flood is an overflow of water that soaks or


    covers land. Floods are the most frequent type of
    natural disaster worldwide. It is preceded by rain
    which falls to the surface of the earth .

    There are several types of flood. Periodic floods


    occur naturally on many rivers, forming an area
    known as the flood plain. These river floods
    usually result from heavy rain, sometimes
    combined with melting snow, which causes the
    rivers to overflow their banks. A flood that rises
    and falls rapidly with little or no advance warning
    is called a flash flood.
    The flood can be caused by nature and it is also
    caused by bad habit of human who do not care
    about the environment, but the most common cause
    is because of the over capacity of the body of
    water, example river or lake. As a result some of
    the water flows outside of the body of water. It can
    also occur in rivers, when the strength of the river
    is so high that it flows right out of the river
    channel. A flood from sea may be caused by a
    heavy storm, a high tide, a tsunami, or a
    combination the three.

    Soil and vegetation absorbs most of the surface


    water, floods happen when there are lack of trees
    and the soil alone cannot absorb all the water. The
    water then runs off the land in quantities that
    cannot be carried in stream channels or kept in
    natural ponds or man-made reservoirs. A flood can
    also be caused by blocked sewage pipes and
    waterways, it can be disastrous for humans when it
    happens in an area that people live because the
    water carries along objects, such as the Jakarta
    flood.

    Common warning signs include intense rainfall,


    dam or levee failure as well as other events such as
    slow moving tropical storms and early snow melt
    can all contribute to flooding, whether you live in a
    flood zone or not.
    As floodwaters spread they can threaten lives,
    inundate properties and businesses, destroy
    belongings, damage vital infrastructure and prevent
    access to essential public services. Often the effects
    of flood are long term and can be very costly,
    disruptive and distressing for communities
    involved. One of the most significant impacts of
    flood is the damage to, and destruction of, homes
    and personal belongings. This often results in grief,
    stress and sadness over the loss of irreplaceable
    possessions and built up equity. For some there are
    the added long-term difficulties of claiming
    insurance and finding resources to repair, rebuild or
    relocate following the flood.
