HGIC http://hgic.clemson.edu Food Safety in Hurricanes and Floods Advance preparation is a key to food safety during a hurricane and the floods that can accompany it. Those living in hurricane areas should keep adequate supplies on hand because power will likely be disrupted, putting food in danger. EMERGENCY SUPPLIES Food and water for four to five days Hand can opener Battery-powered radio Extra batteries Camp stove or other emergency cooking equipment Flashlights, candles, matches, kerosene lamp Fire extinguisher and first aid kit FLOODING AND FOOD Flooding often accompanies hurricanes. Persons living in areas subject to floods should be ready to raise refrigerators or freezers by putting cement blocks under their corners. Canned goods and other foods kept in a basement or low cabinets should be moved higher. Flood waters may carry silt, raw sewage, oil or chemical waste. If foods have been in contact with flood waters, follow the "Safe Handling" recommendations. HURRICANE "WATCH" If the National Weather Service announces a hurricane watch, expect hurricane conditions within 24 hours.

Each of these events caused several fatalities, damaged hundreds of millions of pounds worth of property, and caused severe disruption to society. History illustrates that much more severe events have occurred in the past and the current state of rapid, global climate change is expected to produce more severe and more frequent extreme events in the future.

Four feet (1.3 meters) of water were being held back by an embankment built to keep out the sea on the island of Sandwip in the Bay of Bengal. "Efforts are under way to let the water roll into the sea," one official said without giving details. Meteorology officials said more flash floods may be expected, as heavy rains are seen to continue for several more days. Monsoon rains, which last from June to September, have already swollen three rivers beyond danger levels in northeast Bangladesh, threatening early floods. Some 13 inches (330 mm) of rain fell in the region in the 24 hours to Wednesday morning, raising water levels in the Manu, Kushiyara, and Khowai rivers. Other major rivers across the country were also rising, the Flood Information Centre said in a bulletin.

Grade 7 Natural Disasters Project A flood occurs when a body of water rises and overflows onto normally dry land. The effects of floods, both beneficial and destructive, have been recorded for at least 5,000 years, serving as the basis for myth, religious beliefs, and scientific study. The most familiar flood story is that in the Old Testament tale. The event upon which this tale is based may have actually occurred about 3000 BC, when the Euphrates River overflowed, covering a vast area. According to the Bible, the flood resulted from 40 days of continual rain, producing high water that lasted 150 days and flood depths in excess of 25 ft. The benefits of regular flooding were appreciated in ancient Egypt, where the floodwaters of the Nile brought fertile silt and much-needed water to the fields each year. The pharaohs, recognizing that flooding meant prosperity, levied higher taxes after floods. Accordingly, the oldest records of stream levels are from the Nile. Flooding has probably been more intensely studied and more carefully recorded than any other natural phenomenon since the birth of civilization. Types of Floods Floods are classified in various ways for many special purposes. In the most useful general classifications, coastal flooding of lakes and oceans is distinguished from river flooding.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) Floods unleashed by torrential rains killed at least 43 people in the Dominican Republic as rivers rushed over their banks and hundreds of homes were damaged, an official said Monday. At least 40 people were killed in the western town of Jimani near the Haitian border after a river flooded part of the town Sunday, National Emergency Commission director Radhames Lora Salcedo told The Associated Press. No further details were immediately available. Those deaths and three others elsewhere Sunday came as the government sought to deal with the aftermath of fierce rainstorms over the weekend. In northern San Francisco de Macoris, two men died when they were swept away by an overflowing river, Lora Salcedo said. Another man died when he was caught in strong currents as he fished off the coast, officials said. About 450 homes were flooded throughout the Caribbean country, and at least 14 small towns had power outages and toppled phone lines, Lora Salcedo said.
