On January 10, 2011 in Australia there was a flash flood (sudden flood of great volume which is usually caused by heavy rain) of six inches that was caused by a climate change, which killed 9 people and left 59 missing. The flood water caused an overflow and significant flooding of low-lying areas in Brisbane, Australia's third largest city. Flash floods can occur nationwide and this means in all the areas that we live. In order to educate ourselves from these flash floods we should determine whether we live a potential flood zone and if so what actions can be done to prevent this horrible catastrophe of happening. In the below video you will see the sad fate of a row of parked cars being swept away by the flood.
*Action Tip of the Day- Take Shorter ShowersShowers account for 2/3 of all water heating costs. Save 350 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $99 per year. We never know when there will be a flood in our area therefore save as much water as possible the next time you take a shower.
What would be an action tip here?
