We all know that natural disasters happen all over the world, and then they can completely destroy people's lives as well as our environment. There are many different natural causes of natural disasters, and being aware of them helps us to be better prepared when they do. One of the most common natural disasters is flooding, which occurs when a river breaks its banks and water overflows into a flood plain. During the wet rainy season, flood warnings are often given because of heavy rainfall. There are various flood risk factors that we need to address such as steep canals causing surface landslides, lack of vegetation and forests disrupting the flow of water. In other words, we cannot slow the floodwaters if forests disappear.
