It Can Lead to Death
One of the more obvious and deadly issues that floods cause involves loss of life. Floods can swarm through streets and neighborhoods and cost the lives of people, pets, wild animals and even livestock. Drowning and disease spread by unclean water can also put all living beings’ lives at risk as soon as a flood begins to flow. This is why warnings should be taken extremely seriously and people should always listen to local officials when these situations arise. But there are other serious medical effects that floods can cause that many people may not necessarily associate with flooding.
