floods can affect the transportation in the sense that no vehicles or people can commute with so much water surrounding them. Floods might also affect the water and energy supply because the water found in floods are dirty and unsafe, so it can be quite dangerous for people like young kids who do not know the consequence of drinking dirty water and might fall sick. The industry will be affected because when a flood occurs, people would try to find someplace safe to avoid the rising water, and would not go out to buy necessities as their main priority is to be safe, therefore, businesses would have lesser to no customers buying goods from them. Floods affect people’s everyday lives because it is hard to be able to step outside to walk as the water would already reach their knees and sometime even their waist. This can make commuting time-consuming and tiring in order to be able to walk in the water. For some families that rely on their own family business or store would also be affected because there would be no customers buying from them.

This flood has caused people who are travelling or working to be hindered by the knee/shin high waters. This can be seen based on the cars and buses trapped or stuck in the flood. The people working in the offices and buildings nearby also has to stop work as the water would have seeped into the buildings / shophouses one way or another. This will cause people to be late for work or a loss of income for some people (bus drivers/taxi drivers). The repair work needed to repair the damaged buildings or vehicles would cost quite a big sum also. ~ Hong Ann

Tarawa’s factor of flooding is their height above sea level. The island is surrounded by an ocean and is Low-lying. The island is on average, less than 2 metres above sea level hence making it very prone to flooding when the sea level rises.

This causes things such as soil an coastal erosion as well as frequent floods. These would lead to an impact on infrastructure and development as roads and construction sites will be disrupted. Commuting will also be affected as once again, roads will be flooded hence disrupting commuting

The flash flood in orchard road is causing the road to be flooded therefore preventing cars from moving. This results in traffic congestion making it more difficult and for people to get from place to place. Consequently, this will affect productivity since precious time is being wasted while waiting in traffic congestion, thus there will be lesser time to make productive decisions.

The flash flood happened on 16 June 2010. About 4 inches (100 millimetres) of rain fell for 2 hours, which was equivalent to around 60 percent of the average monthly rainfall of June in 2010. Shopping malls along Orchard road such as Liat Towers were affected by the flood. The flood had caused these shopping malls and car park basements to be submerged in water. This is because a second rainstorm on the same morning came, the Stamford Canal as one of the two channels were choked with debris, is unable to drain off excess water, overflowed and gushed water up to the surface and caused the flooding.

In 2010 16 June, Orchard road had a flash flood. There was a heavy rainfall lasting for 2 hours and one of the 2 channels in the drainage system was clogged. This prevented the rainwater from draining out and therefore flooding the street. Because of the floods, shopping malls along orchard roads such as the Liat tower were affected and got damaged by the flood. I feel that the drainage system being clogged was the cause of the flood as normally, heavy rains would be drained by the drains located beside roads and buildings. However, the drain being clogged caused rainwater to be trapped on the surface and causing water to accumulate there, causing a flash flood.

In 2013, a devastating natural disaster occurred when the Danube river flooded.
The floods resulted in 25 deaths in all of Europe. There was an overall insurance loss of 16 billion US dollars.
It is nearby the Danube river, which can overflow and cause a flood. Budapest is also prone to high amounts of rainfall, which in turn could cause and did cause the Danube river to overflow and flood the surrounding areas.

Tarawa in Kiribati has a large lagoon, widely open to Ocean, with a large ship pass, 500 square kilometres (193 square miles) in total area, and a wide reef.  Global warming is melting the polar icecaps, glaciers and the ice sheets that cover Greenland, causing sea levels to rise. This caused coastal flooding as it is an island in the middle pacific ocean and sea levels rising would cause the island to be prone to coastal flooding

Edit : given that land elevation is low (12.6 and 77.4 % <2 m at Bairiki and Eita ) Tarawa experiences constant floods as it is surrounded by a large water body ( the Pacific Ocean) and does not have any coastal islands to block any incoming waves headed towards the island

The 2010–11 Queensland floods were a series of floods in Australia which began in December 2010 and ended in January 2011. The majority of the floods were in Queensland including its capital. A huge area of Queensland, the size of Texas and France combined, was flooded.The floods forced thousands of people to leave their homes. At least 70 towns In Queensland and over 200,000 people were affected. The floods were caused by heavy rainfall and unusual weather patterns. the reason why brisbane is flood prone is because it is along the coastal area and there are a lot of beaches, so water can flow in and flood the area easily.

The event began with a powerful earthquake off the northeastern coast of Honshu, Japan’s main island, which caused widespread damage on land and initiated a series of large tsunami waves that devastated many coastal areas of the country, most notably in the Tohoku region (northeastern Honshu).

Japan is prone to flooding as it is surrounded by water bodies.

One such city in Japan that has a high probability of flooding is Shizuoka. As you can see, it is located near a river. This results in a higher chance of that city being flooded.

Category 3 hurricane. NYC’s height above sea level is 10 m.
The hurricane inflicted an estimated $19 billion USD in damages. The hurricane lasted approximately 2 days. Storm surge hit New York City on October 29th; flooding streets, tunnels and subway lines and cutting power in and around the city. Hurricane sandy caused the death of 44 city residents. The hurricane happened during high tide. NYC is highly vulnerable to flooding from coastal storms due to its intensively used waterfront and its extensive coastal geography. Floods have the potential to destroy homes and businesses, impair infrastructure and threaten human safety. It took 5 years to recover from the hurricane. NYC is highly vulnerable to flooding from coastal storms due to its intensively used waterfront and its extensive coastal geography. NYC is an urbanised city so the floor would usually be covered with asphalt and cement which reduces water infiltration into the ground and higher surface runoff.
