Will you and your new husband be able to escape certain doom as you wait for your train to leave the station? Can you climb onto your house's roof for safety before the building completely fills with water? Will you join in the effort to save others who are floating by on the roofs of their houses? With dozens of possible choices, it's up to YOU to find a way to survive one of the deadliest disasters in American history.

A Beginner’s Guide to Flood Survival - Flood Survival Tips and Techniques Table of Contents Introduction Types of Flooding Safety Tips – before a Flood Living in a Flood Prone Area Survival Kit For Warmth and Shelter 72 Hour survival Kit What to Do during a Flood What If You Are on the Road in a Flood Situation? Preventing Water Contamination Precautions When Confronted with a Flood If You Are Outdoors during a Flood After A Flood – Your Personal Safety Driving After a Flood Flooding and Insurance Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Floods have been one of the major natural catastrophes, which mankind has had to survive through the millenniums. Since prehistoric times, he knew that there were going to be occasions, when suddenly powerful spates of water would come churning down mountains, sweeping everything before them. The rains which affected mankind 7000 years ago, for 40 days and 40 nights must have brought its accompanying floods, which wiped out a large percentage of mankind. However, there were still survivors, those who got to other lands and raise their families there. These tales of the great floods have been a historic part and parcel of historic knowledge passed down the generations since the times of Gilgamesh. Even all these millenniums later, mankind is still vulnerable to floods, but with a little bit of technological know-how, and a little bit of preparedness, he can save his family from total disaster. Remember that this is the 21st century, and anybody who is under the impression that This Thing Cannot Happen to Me, is living in a fool’s paradise. We may be better prepared to survive, with State and Center rescue programs started up by our local armies, or our governments, to take care of us in case of a flood, but even those are not completely hundred percent effective and reliable, especially the weather is inclement. Survival of the fittest means that many people would rather be safe than sorry, and these includes people of rescue groups, working on flood disaster management and rescue.
