Floods can be deadly due to a combination of fast-moving water, which can sweep away people and vehicles, and the rapid onset of inundation, leaving little time for evacuation. They can also lead to secondary hazards such as landslides, contamination of drinking water supplies, and outbreaks of waterborne diseases. Additionally, the debris carried by floodwaters can cause injuries and fatalities. The psychological and social impacts, such as panic and disorientation during emergencies, further complicate rescue efforts.
