floods affect others, because water is very dangerious well it dont kill or something like that but it damage alot of things and persons lose alot of things for example in the library of the school the water damage allmost half of the books that were in the library and the ones that survives the flood are wet and "humidity", not only the books it also damage desk shelves and more. the more affect in disaster floods are the poor persons because if for a rich person and your house get in a flood you can buy new things very easly but for poor persons it damage all and they can´t buy all at the other day, no! they need to wait almost a year to get new things!, Floods affect people in many ways for example the economy, how are people going to earn a income when they’ve got no customers to buy their stuff, another way is people loose family members, relatives and close friends and you really feel sorry for them, lastly people lose their belongings in the flood, people are probably thinking its only stuff and you don’t need them, your lucky your alive. Like photos but they mean so much to you, for you to treasure and look back at them when your older.
