What is a flood? A flood occurs when water overflows onto land that is normally dry. This often happens when it rains so hard that the ground cannot absorb the water or rivers rise over their banks. In places like El Salvador, heavy seasonal rains can cause water to collect quickly in low areas.

Never walk or drive through moving water, and keep a battery-powered radio nearby to listen for official updates from local authorities.
