I live in the UK and this year we have been badly affected by flooding , we aren't really used to this severe weather and our country doesn't really cope with it that well. So mylotters how does your country cope with flooding, have you ever been affected by flooding?

I live in the philippines and flooding is one of the common problems we are facing every now and then.If rain pours heavily expect a few minutes of flooding on the streets.It's such a hassle for workers and students. With that, citizens are seeking immediate response of the government officials but failed to give some answers.While waiting for the process of the government some citizens are doing their best in order to lessen the level of water if flood comes for instance, they use to clean the drainage to prevent stuck up garbages. However the process of coping up is very slow since after that flood another storm is coming again so the tendency is you will going to suffer it again. I can say that some people are already immune with that situation.

It's good that the citizens are willing to help out when they can but it is the governments responsability to deal with it the best they can.
