Historically, floods are a part of American culture, the "Great Flood" - a large flood that destroyed a certain area and occurred across generations - is often an important event that changes life and landscape. The most devastating flood of recent memories was the Midwest flood in 1993. Damage from the flood was $ 15 billion, 50 people died, hundreds of dams collapsed or collapsed, thousands were evacuated, months were months (FMRC, 1994). There are many other examples, but the flood in Johnstown, Pennsylvania in 1889, was another "big flood" in the United States.

In the 1950s, the community in the United States was destroyed by the flood. In addition to the loss of property and life, private insurance companies suffered huge losses and they completely ceased writing flood insurance contracts. The government picks up labels in the form of federal disaster aid, provided that families and businesses do not have insurance to help clean out the confusion after the storm. By 1968, Congress introduced the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to help owners cover the cost of flood restoration while reducing the burden on taxpayers recovering costs in the flood zone We decided to establish.

In the summer of 1993, the Midwest of the United States was destroyed by a serious summer flood. By that time, 2.5 million NFIP insurance policies were sold and total premiums of $ 200 billion were paid, but insurance does not include flood relief costs. One year after the flood, in regulatory journals, Shelton Richmond explained the paradox faced by good American taxpayers in Samaria. "Federal insurance is voluntary and only 13% of qualified real estate owners are coverage. Scope of coverage. People are deadly lists, as they rely on federal relief, give up reporting Even those who do not have flood insurance during the flood of the Midwest can obtain funds from the FEMA General Fund as long as they purchase the NFIP policy.

Hurricane Harvey attacked the southeastern part of Texas last weekend and brought rain more than 30 inches and catastrophic flooding. This is the worst hurricane that hit the United States in 10 years, and the damage is yet to be known, tens of thousands of Texas residents have evacuated. Arashi itself was terrible, but Houston 's attitude toward urban planning exacerbated the situation. In the three-part series in December 2016 Pro Publica outlined ways in which urban infrastructure can not cope with floods. Several technological advances played an important role in relief during and after Harvey. Social media supported and expanded private relief activities. Open data will help residents to provide up-to-date information on flood levels and shelter locations. Later, private companies such as Houston and AT & T have used IoT technology to identify the damage, provide support and information.
