Failing to evacuate flooded areas, entering flood waters, or remaining after a flood has passed can result in injury or death. Flooding is a temporary overflow of water onto land that is normally dry. Floods are the most common natural disaster in the United States. Floods may:

   -Result from rain, snow, coastal storms, storm surges, and overflows of dams and other water systems.

   -Develop slowly or quickly – Flash floods can come with no warning.

   -Cause outages, disrupt transportation, damage buildings, and create landslides.   ---CONTINUED---
