The world is shocked as heavy rain in Texas at the beginning of this month, sweeping at least 135 people in their death. Kerr County is only lost at 107, including more than twelve children in a strange camp.
From the distance, it can be easier, even trying, to think that the floods like these will never happen to you. That a disaster is far away.
Not.
As details of the disaster focuses on, the list of issues has grown. Sudden rains, driven by climate change. The lack of complete warning program is to inform people that the Guadalupe River came up immediately. A united construction at well-known pollution areas, which are subject to imperfect details that any areas may be dangerous.
These are the same things that can cause Kerr County’s disaster to all nations in the country. It is a reality that played many times in recent years, with flooding Evermont, Kentucky, North Carolina and other millions of dollars, leaving billions of dollars in destruction.
“Kerr County is an exceptional example,” Robert Freunberg, President President and Environmental President in Plan Plan Association. “People are in danger as a result, and something we need to do.”
The most obvious problem is that we build in the flooding environments. The Federal Emergen Management Agency, or FEMA, produces easily accessible maps that showed the most dangerous areas. However, according to the latest data from the Start Clevel Firquel Cloud in First Figration, 7.9 million homes and other buildings are at a special Fale Caler Aureath.

In Louisiana, leading to the 23rd country of 23 found in the flood area. In Florida, about 17 percent. Arkansas, New Mexico, Nebraska, perhaps 10 high expectations, such as the case, New York City, saw two populators and killed two people at the beginning of this month.
Texas puts on a station on the country, about 800,000 buildings, or about 6.5 percent of the province, sitting in the flood area. KERR County authorities have a limited authority to the reserve of the construction of these areas, but whether governments have the potential to prevent effective construction projects, according to the law. Although one lesson found that some places began to stop the flood development, people maintain a building in dangerous areas.
“There is an inner drawing in the water we have, but we need to know where the boundaries,” said Freunenberg. “In real danger, we need to work for people to get hurt.”
Kerr County lives in the Flash Glaly Alley, and at least four cabinets live in the most dangerous camp.
