Floods and torrents are common natural disasters and cause important economic damages in the environment and create very serious health problems in human life. Despite these problems, effects of flood and torrents on human health have not been assessed adequately, especially in Turkey. Accurate data related with these natural disasters from the beginning of the floods and torrents to the end of these events are needed to determine their effect on human life including deaths, injures, diseases, etc. Some structural and non-structural measures should be taken into account to prevent and/or reduce these hazards. In this study, effects of floods and torrents on human life and what should be done to reduce flood hazards are discussed.
