You really cannot very easily stop a flood but you can put sandbags all around and on top of your house.
A specific type of house can prevent floods but most of the time they are unexpected and unstoppable
edit: a series of levies and canals can decrease the risk of flooding, by diverting water elsewhere
It's a natural problem, though scientists suspect flash flooding maybe caused by climate change. So, if possible, recycle, and never leave your computer or TV on standby as these little things will save the environment and make a big difference, helping to stop climate change. If floods occur move all your personal belongings along with blankets and valuable items upstairs and use standbags against your door. If you are in Britain, a useful number is floodline. You can check their website for details.
