During a flash flood, intense rainfall or rapid snowmelt causes a sudden surge of water to flow into rivers, streams, or urban areas, often within six hours of the precipitation event. This swift rise in water levels can overwhelm drainage systems and lead to hazardous conditions, including swift currents and debris-laden water. Flash floods can cause significant property damage, pose life-threatening risks to people and animals, and can occur with little to no warning, making them particularly dangerous. It’s essential for individuals in flood-prone areas to stay informed and have emergency plans in place.
