Flood

Hydrologic hazards examples are floods, drought, and coastal erosion. In the event of flooding, this is when excess water overflows from an existing body of water and the excess water goes to nearby floodplain lands (Islam & Ryan, 2016, p. 149). FEMA indicated that floods falls into three categories and they are riverine flooding, coastal flooding, and shallow flooding. Another example of hydrologic…

Nobody wants to come home to flooding or standing water in their home. Residential water damage is not only overwhelming, it can lead to costly damages if not taken care of quickly. Significant property damage, such as mold growth and major damage to wooden floors, cabinets, drywall, insulation and other structural materials and contents can occur when homes are not dried quick enough. When disaster strikes your home, you need qualified professionals to respond to water damage quickly and work…

Ah, The Great Hurricane of 1938. Ever heard of it or know anything about it? Well this will be about the hurricanes surprise, weather conditions and the impacts that this had on people. This hurricane was a surprise to everyone. No one saw it coming except for one junior forecaster that tracked the exact storm. No one listened to him but if they did then the storm might not have been such a big surprise. People were not prepared for this storm at all. There were no warnings and if the other…

escaped aboard the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, one of whom was place in cry stasis aboard the ship after sustaining life-threatening injuries during the battle. The Pillar of Autumn soon arrived at Halo Installation 04, which John-117 would later destroy the Flood and stop it from spreading to the rest of the halos rings. Following the Battle of 04, the survivors returned to Reach and could rendezvous with the remaining Spartans. The survivors then carried out a raid that resulted in the destruction…

Smith Hill sounds like many small American towns with the population under a few thousand. I grew up in a small town in VA, but I never heard of any issues with the emergency management. One of the biggest threats that we faced was from the flooding of the nearby river. It seems every few years flooding would occur. When I was a teenager there was major flooding from days of heavy rainfall and it just about devastated the town. Some businesses decided that enough was enough and closed up…

I must say you make some good points but I’m still unconvinced. Your opinion is very biased, you only look at the worst things about the reservoir and rarely address the pros the dam has provided. When you do you talk about them it is very briefly. There are many good things the dam has created. The reservoir created by the Glen Canyon Dam has provided many economic benefits. The reservoir currently has over 8,200 residents. In addition, about 4 million visiting tourists bring in $2.5 million…

minute insights about ancient cultures, and it unreservedly recognizes the deficiencies of its "legends." Such genuineness and tender loving care is profoundly strange in ancient mythology, yet proper for genuine history. As it identifies with the Flood, the language of Genesis 6– 9 is so spellbinding and matter-of-actuality in expressing the points of interest of what God did and how Noah obeyed God, that there is no space for thinking of it as allegory or mythology. While its composition style…

Over the course of America’s 200 year history, human innovation has only increased. We went from log cabins to skyscrapers, horse-riding to gas-powered vehicles. Human ingenuity has not only made our lives easier, but also safer. Our greatest inventions lie in creating renewable energy and averting water-borne disasters through what we call the dam. Despite the obvious benefits of a dam, op-ed contributor Yvon Chouinard and magazine contributor Bruce Barcott feel differently; they want dams to…

In the Panhandle of Florida, Okaloosa County is a place where the Earth Team volunteer program supports the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to assist the local service center activities. Nearly 25 years ago, District Conservationist Darryl Williams agreed to allow Linda Johnson to map the West Baker Gully project for emergency funding. This encounter began a lasting relationship between Williams and Johnson and he gained her as a member of the volunteer Earth Team. If you want…
