Flood events are a part of nature. They have existed since the dawn
of time and will continue to exist.
Natural and manmade Disasters cause loss of life; damage buildings
and infrastructure; and have devastating consequences for a
community’s economic, social, and environmental well‐being.
Of all of the Natural Disasters, Flooding is our nation’s number one
natural disaster, and it can occur inland, along the coast, and across
every region of the country. Even though you may think your
community has little or no risk of flooding, the reality is that anywhere
it rains, it can flood. In fact, roughly 25 percent of all flood insurance
claims are filed in low‐to‐moderate flood‐risk areas. As shown on
chart to the right, from a period of 33 years (1965‐1998) of
Presidential Disaster Declarations in the USA it can be seen that
flooding, severe storms and tornados with floods are by far the major
causes of disaster declarations.
