Some floods that take place in the United States are highly pre­dictable. Communities in the path of the oncoming flood can take mea­sures such as sandbagging buildings and homes to provide protection. It is not unusual during the spring of the year, as heavy snowmelt occurs along the upper regions of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, for widespread flooding to occur. When a winter with a large accumulation of snow is followed by a rapid spring thaw or by heavy spring rains, flooding is to be expected.

It is the flash flood - precipitated by unusually heavy rainfall over a relatively short period of time - that causes the greatest amount of human injury and death. As the result of a sudden, heavy accumulation of water in a localized area, normal water tributaries overflow. When runoff systems overflow, water pours into areas from which it should be moving away. This type of flooding can catch a community by surprise, without adequate time to warn the citizens. Though flash floods can occur in many different localities, they tend to be particular risks in mountainous areas where quiet flowing streams and rivers suddenly become raging torrents as they move along narrow canyons.

In the case of an impending flood, farmers and other agricultural workers will need to make provisions for moving cattle and valuable farming equipment to higher ground. Cooperation and action by various community agencies will be required in order to minimize property damage and injury.

A press conference with the Director of the Department of Territorial Policy Yuri Kovalyov has taken place today, May 30, at the National Emergency Management Center of EMERCOM of Russia (St. Vatutina, 1). Mr. Kovalyov told the reporters about the activities of EMERCOM territorial bodies during the spring floods in 2011.

“Floods in Russia have passed without any problems - began his speech to reporters the Director of the Department of Territorial Policy Yuri Kovalyov. This is due to the work carried out in areas to let the melted water without a single accident and prevent rising of water levels during the spring flood.

Of course, an important role in this played forecasting. Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring (Rosgidromet) and All-Russian monitoring and forecasting center “Antistikhiya” of EMERCOM have prepared forecast of emergency situations risks during the spring flood of 2011, based of analysis of flood-making parameters.

According to this forecast, emergencies of regional level and higher, were projected on the territory of Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Krasnoyarsk Territory, Irkutsk, Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions and risks of emergency due to high water levels were projected in 41 subjects of the Russian Federation.

The greatest threat of getting into the flood zone was predicted in 942 settlements, 79 sections of federal roads, 310 sections of railways and 210 bridges. In 18 subjects of the Russian Federation 277 solid waste junks could get in the flood zone.

This forecast was brought to the Federal Districts of the Russian Federation, subjects of the Russian Federation and the territorial bodies of Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, which allowed on-site planning of a complex of necessary preventive measures. The forecast was confirmed by 80%.

In order to generate joint action and coordination of forces and facilities of functional and territorial subsystems, to reduce material damage from spring floods, as well as not to allow any victims among the population in emergency situations caused by spring floods, meetings of committees for emergency situations and ensuring fire security in the Federal Districts and Subjects of the Russian Federation have taken place.
