- Floods and Flash Flood Safety
- Date posted
- 4 years ago
- Description
- Floods are the most common natural disaster in the United States and the leading cause of weather-related fatalities. Most flood-related fatalities happen when people in their car underestimate the power of water. It does not take much water to sweep you or your car away. Just six inches of fast moving water can knock you down, and one foot of swift moving water is enough to sweep your vehicle away. However, no matter the depth of the water, it is important to never drive through water. It is difficult to determine what is underneath the water or if the road has been washed out. Turn Around, Don’t Drown!

- Las tormentas de invierno son peligrosas ya que crean un mayor riesgo de accidentes automovilísticos, hipotermia, congelación, e incluso ataques cardíacos por sobresfuerzo. Como con cualquier peligro, es importante tener un plan antes de que ocurra una tormenta invernal. Las tormentas de invierno pueden durar días, así que haga un inventario de lo que necesitaría antes de que llegue la tormenta. Tenga un kit de emergencia listo con un radio de baterías y tenga baterías adicionales, alimentos no perecederos, agua embotellada, velas y fósforos, ropa adicional y mantas o sábanas. Interrupciones en el servicio eléctrico son posible durante una tormenta de invierno, así que almacene suministros suficientes en caso de que necesite quedarse en su hogar durante varios días sin electricidad.

- A tornado is a violent rotating column of air that is in contact with both the ground and a cumulonimbus cloud, and the winds in a tornado can reach hundreds of miles per hour. Tornadoes can happen anywhere in the world, and New Mexico is no exception. Contrary to popular myths, tornadoes even occur over bodies of water and in mountainous areas. No matter where you live, it is important to have a plan in place to protect yourself in the event of a tornado before it actually happens.

- Description
- Roger Robb of the New Mexico Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing joined us to cover several weather-related hazards and safety tips. In American Sign Language, Roger shows us how to be prepared for wildfires.
New Mexico is often a very dry and arid state, and we can frequently go long stretches without any appreciable rainfall or precipitation. When windy conditions develop during these dry stretches, there is increased potential for any fires that develop to quickly grow out of control. A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in a wilderness area. Wildfires quickly consume everything in their path from trees, vegetation, homes, and other structures. New Mexico is no stranger to the dangers of wildfires, and many homes have become casualties to these fires. Fortunately, there are steps you can take now to reduce your risk to a wildfire.

Tornadoes are one of the most destructive forces of nature, and there is no place that is immune to a tornado. The winds in a tornado can reach over 300 miles per hour which can destroy well-made structures, uproot trees, and turn ordinary objects into dangerous missiles. Your safety during a tornado depends on you being prepared and staying aware.

- Description
- Roger Robb of the New Mexico Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing joined us to cover several weather hazards and safety tips. In American Sign Language, Roger shows us that floods are the most common natural disaster, and floods kill more people each year than any other weather disaster. There are different types of flooding that can be caused by heavy rain, snow melt, or dam or levee failures. Floods can happen very quickly or over a long period of time and may persist for just a few hours or even days. It does not have to take a lot of water to cause flooding. Just six inches of swift-moving water is enough to sweep you off your feet!
There are two basic types of flooding:
River Flooding: River flooding occurs when water rises over the top of river banks. This can be caused by tropical systems, persistent thunderstorms over the same area for an extended period of time, or snow melt.
Flash Floods: Flash flooding is caused by heavy rainfall...

Eventos del tiempo como los rayos pueden causar incendios forestales, pero en realidad son las personas la causa principal de la mayor cantidad de incendios forestales. Los incendios forestales pueden ocurrir en muchos lugares, pero el riesgo incrementa durante períodos de clima seco, de poca lluvia y fuertes vientos.
