## Resource

Missouri’s facing a flood crisis as extreme rainfall events surge, with three inches or more falling in a single day becoming alarmingly common—overwhelming drainage systems and trapping vehicles and people in deadly flash floods. Once rare, water rescues have become a routine emergency for departments like Columbia’s, now heavily investing in specialized boats, advanced training, and frequent drills. Warmer temperatures are fueling these heavier storms, and with flash flood warnings nearly weekly since April, officials are urging the public to stay off flooded roads—because even a few inches of moving water can be fatal.
