Meaning- an overflow of a large amount of water beyond its normal limits, especially over what is normally dry land.
Warning-It is even possible to experience a flash flood in areas not immediately receiving rain. Flood Warning: Take Action! A Flood Warning is issued when the hazardous weather event is imminent or already happening. AFlood Warning is issued when floodingis imminent or occurring.
Mitigation Strategies-In environmental engineering, flood mitigation involves the management and control of flood water movement, such as redirecting flood run-off through the use of floodwalls andflood gates, rather than trying to prevent floods altogether.
Causes-However, floods are not alwayscaused by heavy rainfall. They can result from other phenomena, particularly in coastal areas where inundation can be caused by a storm surge associated with a tropical cyclone, a tsunami or a high tide coinciding with higher than normal river levels.
