“Great floods have flown from simple sources.”
- William Shakespeare
(1564-1616), legendary English playwright.

A flood is defined as "as a temporary covering by water of land not
normally covered by water." The word is derived from the Old English
flod, a word common to Germanic languages. It is one of the most
devastating of natural disasters and has troubled Man over millennia.
In fact, a great flood is mentioned in may of the ancient religious
texts, such as the Hindu Vedas and the Christian Bible.

A flood can affect just about anybody, although those residing beside
large water bodies are especially prone. Even bursting of water mains
can cause floods. The FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) has
guidelines to help you determine what to do during a flood. At the
same time, it is always better to be prepared for such an eventuality.
As you know, "Prevention is better than Cure."
