There are two distinct types of road related flooding.The first is inland flooding. View a
list that includes a list of roads prone to inland flooding that has been compiled by Anne Arundel County. Short periods of intense rainfall, or moderate rainfall over an extended period of time, leads to rising levels in area creeks, streams and rivers. As these water bodies flood their banks and adjacent floodplains, nearby roads in floodplain areas can be impacted. When this occurs, responders from the Fire Department, Police Department, and Department of Public Works work to warn motorists by placing devices such as road signs, safety cones, and reflective drums. Permanent road signs are also posted along recognized flood areas.
