Flooding is a significant natural disaster that can affect anyone, anywhere, including India, where monsoons often lead to inundation. The risks include property damage, water contamination, and physical harm. Experts warn that just six inches of moving water can knock a person down, and one foot of water can sweep away vehicles. The potential for downed electrical lines in floodwaters adds to the danger. With the possibility of more extreme rainfall events due to climate phenomena like El Niño, the need for preparedness is critical.
