Vulnerability and lmpacts <br />Life Safety and Health: Most deaths during a flood occur when vehicles are driven into hazardous <br />floodwater. Vehicles trying to drive through flooded areas or standing water can be swept away and <br />potentially drown. Additionally, a number of hazards can be hidden below floodwater which is why it is <br />imperative to avoid floodwater. Floodwater and standing water can make you vulnerable to infectious <br />diseases, chemical hazards, and injuries."160 <br />Property Damage and Critical Facilities: Floods pose a direct threat to private property and critical <br />infrastructure, especially those within the floodplain. Flooding can block or damage roads or railroads <br />which can isolate residents and can prevent access throughout the County, including for emergency <br />service providers needing to get to vulnerable populations or to make repairs. Bridges that are washed <br />out or blocked by floods or debris also can cause isolation. There are six (6) major roads within the <br />County that are within the 100-year floodplain; therefore, exposed to flooding - lnterstate 82, lnterstate <br />90 State Route 10, State Route 821, State Route 970, and US Route 97.
