A flood is an overflow of any amount of water that reaches land. Floods occur usually when the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, exceeds the total capacity of the formation, and as a result some of the water flows sits outside of the normal perimeter of the body. However, floods may be secondary effects of earthquakes, if dams are damaged. Earthquakes may cause landslips to dam rivers, which collapse and cause floods.
Flooding has caused many casualties in the past, and will continue to do so in the future. Many countries have taken precautions before or after major flooding events, to prevent such events from occurring in the future.
The primary function of the Flood Warning Service Program is the provision of an effective flood forecasting and warning service in each Australian State / Territory. This service is provided in cooperation with other government agencies such as State/Territory emergency management agencies, water authorities and local Councils, coordinated through Flood Warning Consultative Committees and established cooperative working arrangements in each State / Territory.
