Floods are the most frequent type of NATURAL DISASTER and occur when an overflow of water submerges land that is usually dry. Floods are often caused by heavy rainfall, rapid snowmelt or a storm surge from a tropical cyclone or tsunami in coastal areas.

Floods can cause widespread devastation, resulting in loss of life and damages to personal property and critical public health infrastructure. Between 1998-2017, floods affected more than 2 billion people worldwide. People who live in floodplains or non-resistant buildings, or lack warning systems and awareness of flooding hazard, are most vulnerable to floods.

Describe the positive and negative aspects of island living.
viva [34]

Answer:

Pros: First of all it is community that can make or break it for me, be it University days, my early career in Toronto or living in the middle of the ocean. I have met the most incredible people, beautiful people born on the islands and many from varied nations that make up our rich ex-pat community. The ex-pats are particularly special to me as we are all in the same boat, so to speak, in that we are looking for community which makes us available on Christmas or Easter, a brunch or a barbecue as we don’t have family on the Island. We become that for each other: celebrators, listening ears and extra hands. We are Island Family.

Cons: It is a very transient place for ex-pats so you are always saying a heart wrenching farewell to one or more of these Island family members. And of course, we all miss our families/friends back home. I know I do.
