Areas where the land lies less than a few meters above sea level are at particular risk from storm surge inundation. For a given topography and bathymetry the surge height is not solely affected by peak wind speed; the size of the storm also affects the peak surge.reas where the land lies less than a few meters above sea level are at particular risk from storm surge inundation.

A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. The European Union Floods Directive defines a flood as a covering by water of land not normally covered by water. In the sense of flowing water, the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide.
