Default Flooding precautions and response

Isn't it about time a hovercraft or two was used in floods?

Beneath the surface of any urban/rural floodwater are multiple hidden
snags that could rip the bottom out of hovercraft or snag the propeller
from any outboard. That's why every vessel you see used in UK flood
rescues is proceeding gingerly by oars or paddles, rather than motor.
