#1 in Storm and Flood Damage

2/10/2021 (Permalink)

Flooding is a coast-to-coast threat to the United States and its territories in all months of the year. Locally in Pike and Northeast Monroe Counties, floods tend to happen near rivers or creeks. Flooding typically occurs when prolonged rain falls over several days, when intense rain falls over a short period of time, or when an ice or debris jam causes a river or stream to overflow into local neighborhoods  Flooding can also result from the failure of a water control structure, such as a levee or dam. The most common cause of flooding is water due to rain and/or snowmelt that accumulates faster than soils can absorb it or rivers can carry it away. Approximately seventy-five percent of all Presidential disaster declarations are associated with flooding. Below are the most common flood hazards to impact the United States:

• Flash Flooding

• River Flooding

• Storm Surge and Coastal Inundation from Tropical and Non-Tropical Systems

• Burn Scars/Debris Flows

• Ice/Debris Jams

• Snowmelt

• Dry Wash

• Dam Breaks/Levee Failure
