Each year, more deaths occur due to flooding than from any other severe weather related hazard. The
Centers for Disease Control report that over half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is
driven into hazardous flood water. The next highest percentage of flood-related deaths is due to walking
into or near flood waters. Why? The main reason is people underestimate the force and power of water.
Many of the deaths occur in automobiles as they are swept downstream. Of these drownings, many are
preventable, but too many people continue to drive around the barriers that warn you the road is flooded.
