Water moves faster than you think.

Flash floods rise in minutes; river floods build over days. Both kill more people in North America each year than tornadoes. The alert you're reading tells you which clock you're on.

United States · NWS

Flash Flood vs River Flood.

The NWS distinguishes Flash Flood Warnings (rapid-onset, usually <6 hours) from River Flood Warnings (forecast crests on gauged rivers). A 'Flood Watch' means conditions favour flooding; a Warning means it is occurring or imminent.

Canada · ECCC

Provincial authorities lead.

ECCC issues rainfall warnings; flood watches and warnings themselves come from provincial conservation authorities and water agencies. Terminology and thresholds vary by province.

Safety

If an alert covers you.

  • →Turn around, don't drown. Six inches of moving water can knock an adult over; two feet can float most cars.
  • →Move to higher ground before water rises. Do not wait to see the road flood.
  • →Avoid basements and low-lying rooms during flash flood warnings.
  • →If trapped in a vehicle in rising water, get out and move to higher ground on foot.
  • →Assume any standing water hides sharp debris, live wires, or open manholes.
