- The primary hazard from flooding regards drowning. This is particularly evident for flash floods. One identified risk factor for victims of flash floods is driving in an automobile. Whether a flood overtakes a car, or an operator drives the car into flowing water, this is not the place where you want to be. Many victims of flash floods drown within their vehicle. - A longer term health concern from flooding is the development of disease from inundated sanitation stations. Large floods pose a hazard to existing sanitation and drinking water systems.
