New York Extension Disaster
Education Network (EDEN)
With April showers on the way, NY EDEN wants residents to be aware of some important flood information. There are on-average, 5,000 floods each year making this are our nation's most common natural disaster. In 2009, there were 175 flooding events in New York State at a cost of $32.82 million in property damage!
Flood terms:
Flood watch - flooding is possible.
Flood warning - flooding is occurring or will occur soon. If advised by officials to evacuate, do so immediately.
Flash flood warning - unexpected flooding is imminent. Seek higher ground immediately. Two key elements contribute to flash floods:(1) rainfall intensity (2) length of time that it has been raining. Flash floods are the #1 weather-related killer in the United States.
