Flash Floods
Forecasting and Warning
Language: English
Release Date: December 14, 2012
Flash floods typically develop in a period a few hours or less and can arise from heavy rainfall and other causes, such as dam or flood defence breaches, and ice jam breaks. The rapid development, often associated with a high debris content, can present a considerable risk to people and property....
