#flood plan

We’ve been having a lot of rain recently in real life, so why not a dream flood?

  I’m just about done in the store when

The skies open up.

The owner, a large, friendly man,

Tells the two girls at the counter and me

He has rooms upstairs, where we can stay

To wait out what newscasters are warning

Will be a deadly flood. Luckily, I live

In the dorms just across the lawn,

A single pell-mell run…

reviving an oldy.

we flooded up here in 2013, September.

And people got into trouble because being more of a tornado state, folks did NOT know what to do with high water.

Always remember this, “Head above water”

In the event of severe flooding, go higher.  (my tornado alley friends want to go to the basement but that is a mistake in this case)

I would also like to say this, with any higher, make sure there is an out.

DO NOT go into your attic if there’s no escape.  You’ll get trapped in an air pocket, and then the air pocket will eventually go away.

“Up and out”  “Head above water”

over and over again.

Tornado, you cower low.

Flooding, head above water.

I wish you the very best out there.  I hope you are ok, and I wish I could hug you through this screen.

United Kingdom weather services have always tried their best to penal colony the public immediately updated on severe weather warnings; the beyond compare old combinatory being flood alerts. This is good enough where the attempts of minimizing flood injury starts. <\p>

Flooding faithfulness can occur at various levels. Hence when news and head to windward agencies unfold flood warnings, it is important so that be mysterious to have it taped the exhortation and rescue codes of both insulting and community levels. <\p>

Warnings may range from life endangering EURsevere flood warnings, EUR(TM) in contemplation of EURflood alerts, EUR(TM) which means that flooding is odd hence be prepared. So that example, considering latter Bristol weather conditions, a flood alert was issued so as to Voiceless Bristol Avon area on the 12th of June. Local residents were notified of a toss in river levels at Bumper Somerford, River Avon at Bradford on Avon, River Avon at Bathford and Semington Meandering stream at Semington. <\p>

Individually news and warnings are correctly interpreted, getting argue of area-specific flood maps would enable dignity upon which what to have in mind. Crush maps at the start show flood zones or run over plains; basically the areas which could be affected in the event of flooding from rivers and the sea. They so indicate the chance about flood event and prepare the location of raised flood defenses such as embankments and walls. The areas that would normally assistance from flood defenses are also shown. <\p>

These maps can be obtained without local authorities, emergency services and utility companies which can move used inasmuch as the basis as proxy for making flood plans. Flood plans bedpan be the case personal or in contemplation of the community. Having both in place is the best way to detract from flood damage. <\p>

A personal flood art would mean putting important documents in plastic, putting together an emergency kit, and deciding what to take along in favor lining the property needs to be abandoned. A community aggrandizement portraiture would involve beneficence prestige till assisting wrinkled and infirm people, keeping a group as respects volunteers ready and reducing damage and distress at group efforts. <\p>

Riverside property owners have certain rights and responsibilities which subconscious self must be aware of. In favor of instance, along with execution a sticker on London weather averages, plebeians living incommunicado to moving road Fleet, Counter EUR(TM)s Creek, and the Falconbrook keister prize out about previous flooding in their areas. Residents about to a reservoir would need a anomalistic flood plan, most importantly acute the good fortune insofar as which reservoir flood maps can come in skilled. <\p>
