The country was terrible as it was drowning in the rain in Texas, killing at least 135 people. The city of Kerr alone has lost 107 people, including more than dozens of children in the mystery camp.
From afar, it will be easy to lure the belief that such floods can never happen to you. This is a long disaster.

Given that the details of this tragedy have taken into account, the list of factors has increased. Sudden fall, due to climate change. Lack of a comprehensive warning system that the Guadloop River is increasing quickly. The common building in areas known as floods, along with incomplete information about the site, may be in danger.
These are the same items that can cause a disaster in every state in the country. This is a fact that has been repeatedly played in recent years, with floods in Vermont, Kentucky, North Carolina and other places, sadness and billions of dollars in demolition.
“The state of Kiir is a strong example of what is happening everywhere,” said Robert Freudenberg, Vice President of Environmental Programs at the Regional Programs Association. “People are at risk because it is in danger and there are more things that we have to do.”
The most surprising problem is that we are building in areas vulnerable to floods. Federal Emergency Management Agency or Fema produces easily available maps that show high -risk local population. However, according to the latest data issued by Fire Street Foundation, 7.9 million homes and other structures in a Fema flooding area that determines a 1 % or more place each year.

In Louisiana, 23 % of the country’s property in the Fema flood. In Florida about 17 %. Arkansas, New Mexico and Nebraska may expect less than 10 people, and New Jersey also watched with New York City, heavy rains and floods that killed two people earlier this month.
Texas is seventh in the country and sits in the flood area about 800,000, or about 6.5 percent of all states. Karr province officials have limited qualifications to prevent people from creating people in these areas, but even when governments are able to prevent dangerous construction projects, they were not historical. Although one of the studies showed that some areas were eventually launching the development of floods, people continue to build in dangerous places.
“There is a clouds rooted to the water we have, but we need to know the location of the restrictions,” said Freudberg. “In places where they are really dangerous, we must be harmed to get people out.”
The city of Kiir is located in an area known as the Flash alley, and at least four compartments were sitting in a very dangerous “flood” in the camp. Many others stood on flood 100 years. When the Christian summer camp for girls was expanded in 2019, the owners even built more cabins on the road to the water.
