PASSAIGE RIVER SYSTEM—ONE OF SEVERAL THAT REACHED FLOOD STAGE

A COMMON SIGN IN NEW JERSEY: MARCH 7-13, 2011

FLOOD HAZARDS (AKA POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS ) TOO MUCH WATER DISCHARGED WITHIN THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM TO BE ACCOMMODATED WITHIN THE FLOODPLAIN AND THE WATER CYCLE EROSION SCOUR MUDFLOWS

LOSS OF FUNCTION OF STRUCTURES IN FLOODPLAIN FLOODS INUNDATION OF HOUSES, ROADS,BRIDGES, ETC. INTERACTION WITH HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CONTENTS DAMAGED BY WATER WATER BORNE DISEASES (HEALTH PROBLEMS) EROSION AND MUDFLOWS CONTAMINATION OF GROUND WATER CAUSES OF RISK CASE HISTORIES
