Taxonomy: Flood Advisories

Programs that issue flood watches to alert the public of the possibility of weather conditions conducive to flooding, and activate warning systems (sirens or other mechanisms) and/or issue flood warnings to inform the public that flooding is imminent or in progress. Flood advisories cover flash floods, rivers or streams that are in danger of overflowing their banks, dams or levees that are at risk of breaking, and flooding that may result from heavy rain or tidal surges. Flood advisories may include safety instructions for people who are in immediate peril.
