When a flood hits, the first thing you may be thinking is "What can I do?" You're not alone. We all have questions about what flooding means, how to stay safe before, during and after a flood and stay up to date with recent flood events. Floods are caused by either excessive rainfall or high tides. In some cases, both factors contribute to the flooding of land areas. Rainfall may lead to flash floods when it is accompanied by strong winds that blow away soil particles into the air. High tides also cause flooding when they push water over banks into low-lying areas where it collects in puddles before moving downstream towards other bodies of water such as lakes or oceans.
