在美国，与机动车有关的死亡人数占所有洪水死亡人数的一半以上，但迄今为止，人们对与人们开车进入被洪水淹没的道路有关的风险因素知之甚少。本文使用在科罗拉多州丹佛市和德克萨斯州奥斯汀市进行的调查问卷的数据表明，不认真对待警告的人更有可能开车穿过被洪水淹没的道路，18-35岁的人也是如此，而那些不知道机动车辆参与了一半以上的洪水死亡人数。在丹佛，以前没有经历过洪水的人和那些不知道自己住在洪水易发地区的人也更有可能开车进入被洪水淹没的道路。
Motor vehicle-related deaths account for more than half of all flood fatalities in the United States, but to date, very little is known about the risk factors associated with why people drive into flooded roads. Using data from survey questionnaires administered in Denver, CO, and Austin, TX, this paper suggests that people who do not take warnings seriously are more likely to drive through flooded roads, as are people aged 18-35, and those that do not know that motor vehicles are involved in more than half of all flood fatalities. In Denver, people who have not experienced a flood previously and those who do not know they live in flood-prone areas are also more likely to drive into flooded roads.
