How soon after a hurricane makes landfall is it no longer a flooding threat?
It can be quite some time, and the flooding threat is the last threat that a hurricane will carry with it. It is often well tapped into tropical moisture, and that in addition to some convergence is all it needs to dump heavy rains for days very far inland.
Does Belize have hurricanes tsunami and floods?
Belize is too close to the equator to be at a significant risk for hurricanes. The majority of the country is at fairly low elevations and is in a geologically active area, so the probability of tsunami is fairly high in coastal regions, and the low inland elevations and high rainfall make inland flooding likely.
How are hurricanes and floods the same?
They aren't. A hurricane is an intense tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. Hurricane are not the same as floods, but they cause floods though two mechanisms. First, their winds drive seawater onto land in what is called a storm surge, which can cause major coatal flooding. Second, they produce torrential rain, which can cause inland flooding.

How high above sea level do you have to be to avoid flooding?
I don't know if there is a good answer for this, to prevent coastal flooding from most all causes I would think at least 100 feet above sea level. But even well above sea level a flooded river or stream could cause inland flooding.

areas where water can go in the event of river flooding- for example inexpensive lowland areas, or it can even relate to relief channels (man made drainage channels)
