	Hawaii Hazard Mitigation Forum: Mother Nature
		The distinction between a flood and "flash-flood" is usually determined by the amount of warning (less than six hours for a flash-flood) that affected areas might receive prior to the flood conditions.
		Thus, a coordinating body of appropriate scientists, emergency managers, emergency planners, and warning center operators, with representations from each affected state, should be created to ensure this coordination.
		The best mitigation activities a homeowner can do is to support the development of inundation maps, the installation of deep-water tsunami warning buoys, the placement of tsunami hazard signage and sirens, and the implementation of coastal setbacks and regulatory programs.

	National Geographic: Eye in the Sky--Floods and Dams
		Flash floods, which rise and fall rapidly with little or no warning, and tsunamis—seismic waves caused by undersea earthquakes and volcanoes—also drown people and livestock and destroy their habitations, as does flooding due to rains associated with hurricanes.
		Ancient Egyptians planned their planting and their lives around the summer flooding of the Nile, which leaves a thin, even coating of black mud along either side when it recedes, leaving the soil so enriched that fertilizer is unnecessary.
		But when rivers overflow their banks due to melting snow or torrential rains, floods enrich surrounding land, leaving behind organic material and minerals in the sand, silt, and debris.
