What do you do when a 30 foot wall of water comes crashing through?

Floods might seem like the least threatening of all natural disasters, after all, it is just a huge volume of water that eventually drains away right? How can it be so destructive? Floods are actually one of the most dangerous natural disasters as they can occur anywhere and the power of the water can literally wash away everything we know and love — including our home, pets, appliances, furniture and even cars and buildings.

So, in this radio spot, we focus on the natural disaster that is the flood, especially because it is monsoon and we need to be extra cautious. We tell you what causes floods, explain a few very devastating floods and even tell you how to keep safe in the event of a flood.
