To warn residents and agencies of impending floodwaters on major rivers so they can take action and prepare themselves before serious flooding occurs. In most locations, the warning system provides at least 2 hours lead time before floodwaters reach damaging levels. This program does not take the place of individuals and local groups making their own flood disaster plans. When does flooding and high water typically happen in King County?

Germany's finance ministry announced that it was considering a range of tax breaks for flood victims - a move that would see current government aid commitments of 385m euros (£246m; $378m) multiplied many times over. At the same time, the labour ministry said it was drafting in some 5,000 of the country's 4 million unemployed to help in affected areas, so far mainly in the east and south of the country. But economists predict that the German economy, a sluggish performer so far this year, could in fact be modestly boosted by the reconstruction effort. There is also speculation that the European Union may allow the country some leeway in the budget deficit limits agreed for the eurozone.

Water levels are still rising, but correspondents say the situation is extremely confused and the authorities no longer know what to predict. The waters are seeping through the makeshift flood defences and bubbling up through the sewers BBC Prague correspondent Ray Furlong The emergency services have reopened parts of the Old Town to tourists, suggesting that fears have subsided. But elsewhere in the city, an embankment was cleared of people as the river started to seep through flood barriers. Water has also been rising through the sewers, and the basement of the National Theatre has been flooded. Some of the animals in Prague Zoo have also fallen victim to the floods.

Others in evacuation areas have not been so lucky, as large parts of the city remain under water. The overflowing River Vltava assaulted Prague earlier this week, causing the worst flooding in 200 years, as rising waters brought damage and deaths to places across central Europe. The floodwaters left a thick coating of mud The head of the European Commission, Romano Prodi, visited Prague to survey the billions of dollars worth of damage, and the EU has already pledged about $50m in aid. But that is expected to cover just a fraction of the cost of repairing homes and businesses across the Czech Republic, where the rising waters have forced 200,000 to flee their homes. The surge of water that inundated parts of Prague is now sweeping downstream to the River Elbe and adding to the flooding in the historic German city of Dresden, where about 14 people have been killed.

Bell, of London, England, was an exchange student at Wyoming Seminary in 1972. On June 23, 1972, the Susquehanna River, swollen with rain from Hurricane Agnes, surged over its levees. Bell, still friends with several of his Wyoming Seminary classmates, visited Wilkes-Barre this week for a wedding. He spent Saturday afternoon at the River Common, enjoying its opening celebration and the nearby RiverFest. RiverFest 2009 began with a deluge of water. A rainstorm doused festival volunteers early Saturday morning. The rain stopped Saturday afternoon, leaving behind mud and puddles but bringing hundreds of people to the riverbank.

Flood Geology "Lord, Lord! methought what pain it was to drown: What dreadful noise of water in mine ears! What sights of ugly death within mine eyes!" - William Shakespeare, King Richard III Problems with a Global Flood This article presents a list of questions that the story of Noah's Ark and a global flood leave unanswered and probably unanswerable, such as: How did all the fish survive? and, When did granite batholiths form? Flood Stories from around the World While flood myths are common to practically every culture on the planet, most of them are significantly different in detail. This article describes nearly a hundred flood myths originating from cultures all over the globe. Sun Pictures and the Noah's Ark Hoax In 1993, CBS aired a purported documentary called The Incredible Discovery of Noah's Ark . The show's producers, however, were the victims of a hoax. "Man Tracks?": The Paluxy River Footprint Controversy For many years, creationists claimed that a set of human tracks were found alongside dinosaur tracks in the Paluxy riverbed near Glen Rose, Texas. However, due in large part to the diligent investigative and scientific work of Glen Kuban, even most creationists now doubt the authenticity of the "man tracks". "Polystrate" Fossils Creationists and catastrophists have attempted to justify a global flood by claiming that there are fossils cutting through many geological strata. A number of so-called "polystrate" fossils are examined here.

The top tube on the pyramid is a special containment unit that is initially pumped with water, but may be emptied in less than five minutes, ready to be pumped full of gooey oil and muddy debris that may wash up against the dam itself. Made from American fabric and delivered directly from our warehouse in Kenner, Louisiana, Tiger Dams are fifty foot by nineteen inch cylindrical tubes that can be stacked in a pyramid shape up to thirty-two feet high and interconnected to form a barrier along the shoreline of infinite length. Their environmentally-friendly design is a major benefit for this application in that they can be removed without leaving any footprint.

Serious Flooding in Western Ukraine November 1998 November 28, 1998 November 23 late breaking report I have been receiving reports from my friends in Transcarpathia about serious flooding that has destroyed more than 1300 homes (more than 50 in Khust where we work) on November 5-6th. Unceasing rains brought a wall of water into the normally beautiful Tissa Valley. More than a dozen people have been swept away. The biggest problem now is the homelessness. The photos in this report illustrate some of the flood damage. In January 1999, 24 of us are going to this part of Ukraine on a medical mission. You can read about this mission by clicking here . Also, we are sending a 20 ton container of life-sustaining humanitarian aid here. The bridge across the Tissa River has been swept away. Downstream in Chop, where we cross into Ukraine from Hungary, the water was more than 40 feet above flood stage. I also received a FAX dated November 10 through George August in Long Beach, California who has relatives in Western Ukraine who report as follows: "Nobody of the old people remember such a flood in Transcarpathia.

In the last 2000 years, the Yangtze River has flooded more than 1000 times. But it is the Hwang Ho or "Yellow River" that has been responsible for China's most catastrophic floods. Three thousand miles long, it begins high above sea level in the northern mountain province of Qinghai and ends at the Yellow Sea. Westerners have dubbed it "China's Sorrow," because over the centuries it has killed more people than any other river in the world. In 1887 flooding killed nearly two million people, in 1931 the death toll was almost four million, and in 1938 it was almost one million. Attempts at controlling the Yellow River were begun as early as the third century B.C. An engineer named Yu came up with the idea of dredging the river to encourage the water to flow in its proper channel. Yu was made Emperor of China for his contribution, but managing the river's silt would continue to be an ongoing challenge. Over the years, the Chinese have tried to control the Yellow River by building higher levees, digging channels and building dams. Dams have tended to be the most helpful in controlling floods, but the river's thick silt has clogged many of them. Currently, the Chinese are constructing a massive new dam called the Xiaolangdi Multipurpose Dam Project. Boasting 10 intake towers, nine flood and sediment tunnels, six power tunnels and an underground powerhouse, the structure may finally mitigate "China's Sorrow."
