When a river receives a lot of extra water it may flood. During a flood,
there is plenty of water, and most people wouldn’t think that
dehydration was a serious risk, but flood waters are mostly polluted
and not safe to drink. People who drink the contaminated water may
suffer from illnesses or diseases such as typhoid. You can prepare for
flooding by filling many containers with fresh clean drinking water. You
can also use sandbags to protect your house and soak up the water.
Be prepared and be safe.

Primary sources are original sources which provide direct or firsthand

historical and legal documents, eyewitness accounts, results of
experiments, statistical data, pieces of creative writing, audio and video
