Wikipedia
Nature's Inventory Wellness OilsA flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land, a deluge. It is usually due to the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, exceeding the total capacity of the body, and as a result some of the water flows or sits outside of the normal perimeter of the body. It can also occur in rivers, when the strength of the river is so high it flows right out of the river channel , usually at corners or meanders.

• To reduce the deficit and strengthen the NFIP for the future, the Administration proposes to:
• Increase premiums over five years for a subset of subsidized properties: non-residential 
• or non-primary residences, residences sold to new owners, and severe repetitive loss 
• properties.

• Re-define severe repetitive loss properties as residences with at least four paid claims 
• greater than $5,000 or with two paid claims that cumulatively exceed the market value of 
• the house.

• One year after enactment, increase premiums for all policy holders fitting the above 
• named categories (non-residential or non-primary residences, residences sold to new 
• owners, and severe repetitive loss properties) by no more than 20 percent per year until

Flood Facts
It must be remembered that there is always the possibility that lives will be lost on land or at
sea during a flood event.
Assuming a general knowledge about the locality, the following can be considered as
likely to arise under flood conditions:
• Dislocation of services: road transport and access may be impeded by floodwaters;
• Power failure at pumping stations and sewerage treatment works may cause additional
flooding and pollution hazards;
• Hydraulic structures may be damaged or blocked by floating objects;
• Collapse of walls/properties and the displacement of manhole covers, scour holes may
present new, underwater hazards;
• Surfaces become slippery making them a health hazard;
• Changes in local flow regime may occur as the result of the floodwaters such as scour
holes, manhole covers missing etc.
• Health impacts may be substantial, affecting many people at the same time.
• People may be displaced, (potentially for periods of up to or beyond a year) physically

• Floods can also cause anxiety and have psychological impacts on the affected
communities
• Foul sewage and other pollution may cause contaminated water containing a number
of pathogens.
• Disruption to communications
• Breakdown of law and order.

• Floods can have significant economic impacts; the estimate of losses for the Carlisle
floods of 2005 was in excess of 450 million pounds sterling. In the Flood Studies
Update Report an estimated annual average damage of approximately €250,000 to
Nature's Inventory Skinny€2.6m based on studies carried out at that time is mentioned.
• Power failure due to a flooded power station.
