This natural disaster is something that has become a yearly nightmare all around the world...
It displaces people... properties... businesses...lost of lives. etc
I think there should be an organization all around the world to tackle this to an extent.
What's your take on this?

In my country, we have some region where flood is a yearly occurrence for them, and the government have set up various committees to checkmate the activities of the waterways and where there are blockages, but due to the corruption in the system, this has made it impossible to find a lasting solution thlonthebissue of flood and another natural disaster.

So for sure, even though flood is a natural disaster, but it can still be controlled or managed.

My brother in my location we live in an island. The sea level of the water is higher than the land so whenever the sea river is rising then most of the houses in the area or the state will be submerged and there is no model to address this issues and as you said, the corrupt leaders or contractors siphon the money for personal use. And from various discussions we have engaged in the community level, we came to discover that the government make put a stop to that once and for all if they really want to do work for the people in their territories.

And one of the simplest way is that, this yearly flood that occurring is a fresh water and not a salt water and salt water comes from the sea and fresh water and salt water can not live in one place so the modality we set to douse this problem if the government can do it is to channel very big pipes from different Creeks to the sea and whenever the flood comes, the pipes will drain the water the sea and the problem of flooding will be a story of the past. But the leaders are using this flooding to make money so they won't let it go.

Government have special organizations and agencies that tackle flood and control it in some advance countries, while some under developed countries, non governmental organizations are helping most people that are been affected by flood.
Sometimes, lack of proper planning of environment is the main cause of flood because if environment is well planned, there will be water ways and flood will be minimal.

Natural disaster has been in existence for a very long time now and I don’t think that can’t be stopped. Many things have been put in place in order to make the environs a better place for all by government of the country where are affected. You can’t deny their efforts but just know that they can’t do it all. Nature is nature, you can only controls and manage the effects of it that accompanies it, if not that then you can’t stop it from happening.

Natural or normal flood never come to destroy properties and Hunan beings but the ones I have experienced these years in Nigeria are from human beings. Cameron open her dam and Nigeria could not control the dam from Cameron then it enter into the lakes and rivers and Creeks and spoiled and damages farm lands and houses and prosperities. In Nigeria Everyone was thinking that flood would come this year and federal government also announced it in national TV and radio but good convert it and it didn't come so we are expecting the flood next year.

This is the revenge of nature to us so start out being responsible and start from ourselves, I'm doing my part on that and trying to become a better person. With everyone's contribution and collective little effort that we do, we can make a change.

There is also a role that government need to carry out too in trying to ensure that people don't do wrong things by using their waste to block drainages because they dump it in undesignated places. Government need to provide people with waste basket or trucks and also map out places close to people where they can dump their refuse waste.

Talking about nature fighting back, it is normal to see flood when drainages have been blocked, so government need stronger policy that they will follow up both in providing water ways and to ensure that people don't dump refuse where not assigned for that because people can behavior in ways they choose when not controlled.

Flood is natural disaster creates are huge type a problem in a country. Flood create food problem water problem and people faces huge amount of losses they lost their house their savings. Some people those who don't know how to swim the die on the flood water. Some fall into illness through water disease. Flood creates are huge problem of flood area people. They suffer a lot and lost many thing from life.

There are many problems that flood creates but who creates flood? It is us. Because of the garbages that we're throwing everywhere, the cutting of trees that sucks the excess water in land.

It is because of us.

This is the revenge of nature to us so start out being responsible and start from ourselves, I'm doing my part on that and trying to become a better person. With everyone's contribution and collective little effort that we do, we can make a change.

flood is truly devastating but one of the ways to minimize its losses is to keep our trees and plant some more especially for those countries, like mine, with an abundant natural forests those can help weaken typhoon coming our way thus reducing the risks of flood

another thing is to keeping our streets clean one of the reasons for flood is the lack of way to go to they often get stuck in streets because some are clogged taking care of our environment is one way to avoid further losses

You own the pen

Corrupted government is one of the main causes of why this is all happening especially in our city, we don't have a problem with floods in the past decades but when the government starts to fix the roads with fixed budgets, the city cannot survive heavy rain anymore and it floods really quick while that's not really our problem before. I never dreamt of a day when heavy rain would turn out to be a nightmare for us because the last time it flooded here, our neighbor died when she tried to cross the slippery road and fell and she hit her head and she died on the spot. She was just trying to evacuate because their house was already flooded.

Since floods have a natural tendency that makes them a yearly thing since the most are rainfalls that increase the water level, the government must take responsibility for building enough water banks that will take in all the water excess during the rainy season.

It is not as if there are no government agencies that has such responsibility to take care of flooding preventions but government is nonchalant about their agencies to be sure people assigned to manage them are true to it but firebrigade approach is used at the time of raining season and flooding but that doesn't go anywhere to prevent the harm because the preventive measures of clearence of debris in waterways before raining season is not followed .

I will still tie corruption to the reason that these agencies that sees to flooding don't do what they are suppose to do before the season, the government disburse monies required to these agencies but they usually don't get utilized just like other agencies whose assigned money end up in private account.

We have several agencies both International and local agencies that take of flood management and in my country, we have a governmental agency that is scheduled to the responsible for flood management but despite all of that, we still record cases of flood at all times and also lack of proper management of the waterways is what has resulted into all of that and at the same time lack of the agency commitment into making sure that all protocols and procedures are properly followed.

Since floods have a natural tendency that makes them a yearly thing since the most are rainfalls that increase the water level, the government must take responsibility for building enough water banks that will take in all the water excess during the rainy season.

In my personal point of view, that is one of the biggest ambitions and what ultimately humanity is about a constant pursue on controlling nature in order to have a comfortable place to live, food to eat and machines to do the work for us easier.
I would even go as far as saying that engineering is the branch of science which in charge of trying to put the nature and its laws at the service of human civilization, hence comes the development of dams, nuclear reactors, machines , giant vessels, etc.

Rather than stupidity, perhaps there is some element of the human instinct of challenging the rule of nature.
The Japanese does not have many options but stay in their island and deal with earthquakes, making their building and infrastructure strong enough to endure through time and disasters. ~~Or maybe it is indeed stupidity~~

Natural disasters are deadly occurences by nature that are beyond human control, all we can just pray for is never to experience any of these disaster because they are life threatening devastation beyond what human efforts could stop or mitigate, governments have been trying to ensure that this had been tackled in so many ways but all efforts seems less effective to the magnitude of what is happening through these disasters, there have been supports l around the world in providing of relief materials to help those affected have a quick aid, food items and other medical facilities are also channelled towards all affected areas.

My city was flooded when I was in Junior High School. Many of my friends’ houses were flooded and the damage was shocking to witness firsthand. All family photos and heirlooms gone. Basically your entire life and history just washed away leaving only the bones of a home to have everything replaced. Flooding is much more devastating than most people realize.

Seriously, many people are suffering from open Dem water because as soon as they open it, it would flood without control, and the number of people suffering from food crises as a result of natural catastrophes will increase, causing damage and many lives.

However, the only solution to this type of devastation is for the government to increase its efforts to plant more trees. I believe it is a superior concept. If it weren't for the manner my folks are whining about the flooding, which, to be honest, is not proper, especially the fadamas, are whining about this flooding—which is, to be honest, inappropriate—the water would come and pack everything away as a result of double work once they've finished with the fadamas.

70% of the earth is water and only 30% is land, what did you expect from such a place. We also have raining season that do pour down water to the earth. Flood is a natural disaster and like what Franky1 said people build their houses close to the sea shores and forgetting to have a sea defence from flood.

It is very hard to control water when it has start flowing and there is nothing anyone can do about it than to create a way that they can stay safe from the disaster by evacuating such place and move to a place that is safe from flood. Dams that are also built to cage this excessive water are not well built or too small to contain large volume of water over a long period of time.

This makes the government to open the dam for the water to flow into the sea, when the dam is filled to the brim or has started splitting out water. The water from the opened damn will definitely ravage communities that it will pass through to the sea. I believe that provisions are made for flood victim but that wouldn't change the frustration caused by the flood on her victim, neither will it bring back the properties and lives that it has destroyed.

The organization should enforce planting of tree. At least a new born baby should have a tree planted in their name at their first birthday and by this we are going to have green house revolution and by the next ten years there will be lots of vegetable that will give the ozone depletion more coverage because it is the falling of trees and burning of them that depletes the ozone as carbon and harmful gases from the activists of human.

I totally agree planting of trees because even our Forest now no more for the purpose of wood making no more coverage

People are suffering as a result of the environmental harm they have caused, and if it weren't for the government's current efforts to plant more trees and find solutions to combat climate change in light of the catastrophe it brings with it, all you would see driving through town is hardscape. In nations like Nigeria, where there are agencies tasked with maintaining these green spaces, corruption prevents them from collecting bribes and caring about the consequences of their actions, leaving them with no choice but to mitigate if they don't follow the law when the time comes.

the problem stems from decades of land development on cheap land known to be at risk of nature

people build along the coastlines but dont initially build sea defenses because they want easy access to sandy beaches not a climb over ugly rock defense walls

people build on wetlands due to it being too regularly flooded to be farmable, so its sold to real estate, who dont level up the land to be above the water basin

look at the swamplands of new orleans.. its swampland. there is no logical reason why anyone should be surprised when that area floods.

other area's are known to be 'tornado alleys' if you have a house in that area dont be blown away if i told you your house can be destroyed by a tornado

california has a known fault line but people are still shocked and left shaking in fear and surprise when there is an earthquake

living in a area without a river for miles and people are shocked they suffer from droughts
