Abstract

Crossing the flood on foot is one of the two major causes of flood-related death. This study was aimed to determine risk factors associated with risky behavior of crossing the flood on foot and modeling behavior of people when exposed to the flood. Data were gathered by a questionnaire in Quchan, a city of Iran. People with the age of 18–35 years old, those who do not take flood warnings seriously, individuals who do not have experience of exposure to flood and those who believe they have moderate to advanced level of swimming skills were identified as high risk groups. Appropriate group training programs can be set for them to reduce risky behavior of crossing the flood on foot. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014
