Slow-Onset Floods<\/p>\n<p>    * Slow-Onset Floods usually last for a relatively longer period, it may last for one or more weeks, or even months. As this kind of flood last for a long period, it can lead to lose of stock, damage to agricultural products, roads and rail links.<\/p>\n<p>2. Rapid-Onset Floods<\/p>\n<p>    * Rapid-Onset Floods last for a relatively shorter period, they usually last for one or two days only. Although this kind of flood lasts for a shorter period, it can cause more damages and pose a greater risk to life and property as people usually have less time to take preventative action during rapid-onset floods.<\/p>\n<p>3. Flash Floods<\/p>\n<p>    * Flash Floods may occur within minutes or a few hours after heavy rainfall, tropical storm, failure of dams or levees or releases of ice jams. And it causes the greatest damages to society.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add your own answer in the comments!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question by KingPoet: What are the three main types of flooding?
