285 "donkey friends" in Jiangxi were besieged by flash floods. Which terrain is safer when flash floods break out?

The vast majority of safe places are places with high terrain, flat terrain, far away from water sources, and there are no big trees beside them. In places with lush vegetation, small trees are safe and big trees are unsafe. Tell me exactly why:

First, the terrain is higher. As the saying goes, "water flows downwards". As far as water flow is concerned, the higher the terrain, the safer it is. After all, the higher the water is, the higher it will not go, but it is relatively high from the water, and it is equally dangerous to go up and down the valley. Because the terrain upstream may also spread.

Second, stay away from water. Mountain torrents are floods, and all water sources have problems, including streams, fountains and wells with high water levels. These places will change when flash floods break out. The stream will be turbid, the fountain flow will increase, and the well with high water level will cause too much groundwater and form a dark spiral. If they get too close, they are easily sucked in.

Third, a flat place. Some people don't understand this. Why should the highlands be flat? This is because if it is not flat, the hillside is easy to encounter mudslides, which is not much better than mountain torrents and even has a lower survival rate. If you can't find a flat domain, at least find a place with a low slope.

Fourth, the vegetation is not completely safe, and there is danger under the big tree. In the weather that causes flash floods, there will be not only rain, but also lightning and strong winds. In this weather, it is dangerous under the big tree, so try to avoid such a position. If you must choose vegetation area, please choose bamboo forest instead of forest.

Generally speaking, when encountering mountain torrents, it is mainly to deal with them calmly and not to panic. More importantly, don't choose to travel in bad weather. Prevention is safer than response.
