Recently the floods increasingly happen over the world in general and specially in Australia. For example, a sequence of floods in Queensland in early December 2010 did happen and led to a damage of approximately $1 billion (Australian Government, 2014). This essay will discuss the impacts of flood in specific aspects. Firstly, it will examine the affects of flood to the societies and then the influences of floods to the national economy will be raised in the second paragraph.

Moreover, the impacts on global health obviously increase significantly during the period of flooding such as injuries, fecal-oral disease, vector-borne disease, (Ahern, 2005). To be more specific, In other words, the unfortunately health issues continue constantly after the floods (ABC, 2011).(http://www.abc.net.au/health/features/stories/2011/02/10/3135043.htm) Aher reported that the dirty water that floods bring into the living areas constantly therefore the people cannot access to the clean water by any chance. (Aher, 2005). In Indonesia, in Vollaard et al studies found out that the number of paratyphoid fever increased dramatically, with an ratio of 4.52 equal to 95% confident out of 100% and Katsumata et al. (27) also showed the risk of cryptosporidiosis rising speedily. In addition, the water-born viruses are also a concern for the societies at the post-flood (
