Floods Cause Some Serious Damage
There are a lot of ways that floods can cause damage after a flood has come and gone. If the water isn’t cleaned up right away, it can lead to structural and electrical damage. It can even lead to landslides, which can cause evacuation notices to extend for days or even weeks, or damage nearby crops, leading to food and water shortages that can prolong suffering well after the rain has stopped. But there are health risks to floods as well, which is why so many people should consider evacuating areas that are in risk of flooding as quickly as possible.
