Flooding has been a persistent and deadly hazard in the United States over the past few decades, causing an average of more than 125 deaths annually, according to the National Weather Service. Flash floods, which can develop rapidly within six hours or less of heavy rainfall, contribute significantly to these fatalities. In 2024, flash floods alone accounted for 145 deaths. Nearly half of all flood-related fatalities involve vehicles, and these deaths affect individuals across all age groups. This data underscores the ongoing risk posed by floods in the U.S. and highlights the importance of awareness and preparedness.
