Flash floods have fast currents that can wreak havoc to anything standing on their way. They could cause devastation to properties, trees, plants, and even animals and people. If your local news authority warns you of a possible flash flood, you should be preparing your emergency kit ahead of time and be ready to evacuate if possible.

Why does climate change cause flash floods?

One of the most common incidences of flash flooding occurs when there is a heavy period of rainfall following a period of drought. This is because the ground is very dry and cannot absorb so much water at once. Then when the torrent of water comes, it cannot be absorbed into the ground and spills over and when rain keeps persisting in such a way, it can wash away land and cause great damage to buildings (in a flash flood).
