We will have a more careful view of floods and the damage that it brings to human life through

answering 3 questions: when and where, its damages and how to reduce its consequences.
First, we need to understand what the flood is. A flood is an overflow of water (or rarely others)
that submerges land. In the senses of "flowing water", the word may also be applied to the inflow
of the tide.
A flood can develop in a many ways. The most common is when rivers or streams overflow their
banks. These floods are called riverine (ven sông) floods. Heavy rain, a broken dam (đập) or
levee (đê) , rapid icemelt in the mountains, or even a beaver (hải ly) dam in a vulnerable spot can
overwhelm a river and send it spreading over nearby land. The land surrounding a river is called
a flood plain. (According to nationalgeographic.org)
Thus, when we see the formation of floods, everyone must certainly sweep its terrible power.
Some cases of floods have a very bad impact on life, such as storm Daniel attacking Benghazi, Al
Marj, Ai Bayda, Batah, Sousa and Derna of Lybia, on September 11, 2023. It is estimated that
more than 4,000 people were killed and some 10,000 were missing after heavy rains generated
by Storm Daniel (a strong Mediterranean (Địa Trung hải) cyclone) drenched (ướt đẫm) the area
and brought flooding to the region. About 25 percent of the Libyan port city of Derna was
destroyed by a massive torrent of water and mud after two dams located upstream (ngược dòng)
from the city collapsed from pressure brought on by the heavy rains. Roughly one week earlier,
flash flooding caused by Daniel had damaged infrastructure and inundated (ngập nước) villages
in Greece, Bulgaria, and western Turkey.
A general synthesis shows that floods can destroy houses, kill thousands of people, flatten many
cities and cause great damage to the country's economy. Not only in Lybia but also many other
countries suffered this consequence.
The question is, how does the government and people organize a plan to restore damage? For
Lybia, the government asked the international aid to provide drugs, food and resources to restore
rubble (đống đổ nát) and supplement the victims to rescue the victims. But we should not wait
until the heavy consequences will be overcome, each person needs to be well prepared when the
storm comes.
