Introduction

Floods have been one of the major natural catastrophes, which mankind has had to survive through the millenniums. Since prehistoric times, he knew that there were going to be occasions, when suddenly powerful spates of water would come churning down mountains, sweeping everything before them.

The rains which affected mankind 7000 years ago, for 40 days and 40 nights must have brought its accompanying floods, which wiped out a large percentage of mankind. However, there were still survivors, those who got to other lands and raise their families there. These tales of the great floods have been a historic part and parcel of historic knowledge passed down the generations since the times of Gilgamesh.

Even all these millenniums later, mankind is still vulnerable to floods, but with a little bit of technological know-how, and a little bit of preparedness, he can save his family from total disaster. Remember that this is the 21st century, and anybody who is under the impression that This Thing Cannot Happen to Me, is living in a fool’s paradise.

We may be better prepared to survive, with State and Center rescue programs started up by our local armies, or our governments, to take care of us in case of a flood, but even those are not completely hundred percent effective and reliable, especially the weather is inclement.

Survival of the fittest means that many people would rather be safe than sorry, and these includes people of rescue groups, working on flood disaster management and rescue.
