Floods are one of the leading causes of loss of life and property throughout the world. This type of natural disaster is becoming a more common scenario and communities are demanding rescue providers be prepared with flood rescue training. The enormity of flooding incidents makes planning critical to your team’s success. Floods vary in duration and intensity, but the concepts for conducting rescue and recovery operations are similar.
