Flood Survival
Surviving Floods | Kavanagh
Natural disasters are becoming increasingly common, and the better prepared you are, the more likely you are to survive a catastrophe. This English-language, fold-out guide teaches you everything about preparing for and surviving a flood. It is an American guide, but the tips are useful for countries all over the world.
Floods are among the most common natural disasters. They can affect many areas and can occur at any time of the year. Not all floods are the same. Some develop slowly, over a number of days. Others can occur quickly, sometimes within minutes. Ground conditions, such as excessive paving in gardens, increase the risk of flooding.
Preparation for Floods
What exactly happens when an area floods? What are the general risks and what dangers do you face as an individual? The map shows the steps for an action plan, so you can be well-prepared. Then there is a list for a survival kit. What should you have in your home and take with you if you need to flee?
How to Stay Safe During a Flood
One side of the guide explains what to do when you are safe in a shelter, car, or camper.
What to Do After a Flood?
Finally, in a few pages, it explains what to consider after the disaster.
